hey friends!
i was recently blessed to find a VRTX and M630 in my budget, and after sourcing a few parts that weren't included (namely: backplane expander, CMC, SPERC8, and power supplies), i've found that i'm having trouble actually getting things to work.
i've had two M630s now exhibit similar issues- pulsing green power LED, non-ready iDRAC in CMC, no indicator LEDs for the iDRAC on the blade itself, even after 30+ minutes left alone. i was previously told the culprit was motherboard failure, but since the replacement blade is having the same trouble, is it possible that it's something else? my main concern is that i'm missing another part i haven't identified yet.
i have both mezzanine cards (Dell P/N 3N9XX) installed in the blade, and i've tried all four blade slots in the VRTX to no avail.
greatly appreciate any guidance you guys can provide.
