I just came across these forums with hopes that anyone here can give me some insight into a problem I have with a new build I've been working on to replace my old s5000psl which age has begun to show. The board is a Proliant dl160 g6 and I got a good deal on it along with heatsinks included(heres where I got it from, offered the guy $50 and he took it) HP DL160 G6 System Board 608882 001 593347 001 Motherboard w Heatsinks | eBay
Alright, I'm using an older E-atx chassis to house it and I currently have one L5630 and only 2x2 gb of ram(micron 1333 registered ecc) since I wasn't entirely sure I was going to be able to get it to work. I figured out the pinout of the board to the extent of being able to power it on with a screw driver. Due to the 6pin fan headers all of my chassis fans have been wired to molex. The ram is correctly placed in the white slots closest to the only processor in there(processor 1). All I can get out of it is a blinking BMC light, spinning fans, and a button on the back of the board that can be pressed and it turns blue. I cannot get any video out of it and I have tried all kinds of different ram configurations, I borrowed ram from a similar server board and still no luck. Is there something that I'm missing to get this thing to post? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
