Morning all.
I have a Dell R720 I got from my office decommissioning stuff a few months back, and tried plugging it in and turning it on a few days ago. The first thing I noticed was one of the PSUs just clicks when it gets plugged in, but the second one works properly... So, it started up and I connected to it over IPMI (no VGA monitors available now... hope to get one soon). Long story short, it allowed me in via the web interface and I was looking around, throwing commands at it, and the like, and got the HTML5 Remote control up and running. It's been a while since I used this, so I was going around different menus to try to reset the disks from the way they were originally setup (this is going to be running ProxMox with ZFS) but couldn't figure it out, so rebooted, thinking it might be a different interface... screen went green (no signal) and nothing... I tried refreshing the page, and nothing... checked the port on the IPMI and no lights... just dead... no lights on the IDRAC card, LCD is dead... PSU has a green light on it, but nothing else...
Any ideas of what is going on? Any ideas of what I need to do to reset it? It just went from running to dead after a reboot...
Thanks.
