Hi, i have an HP Proliant ML310 G5p that wont turn on.. there is an amber standby light lit on the front of the case and the same on the motherboard. so i assume the PSU is ok.. wont actually turn on and no beep codes.. i have reseated all connectors and RAM.. the CPU heatsink is fixed ok. Could it be motherboard or CPU? i think it might be a socket 775 with a xeon inside.. i do have a spare core2duo somewhere tp try.. any ideas?

I will say the heatsink is pretty thick with dust.. it was a pc used for sub station monitoring... but umm nobody monitored, is it possible the CPU has burnt out
?

yes you plug it it to your network,it monitors the status of the server even if it doesn't run

ilo

MOD needs to move it to the server part of the forum

You plug it into an ethernet port with a standard cat 5 cable. However, if iLO has not been set-up, it wont be any use to you in this situation as you would need to power the machine up, to set it up in the first place.

It should have a cardboard tag on the server with the default iLO details, the standard url is;
https://iloserialnumber

^ so a url starting with ilo and then the server serial number e.g. ilo12345678, default admin account is 'Administrator' but the password could be anything, if you don't have the tag, you may be out of luck, try the admin password for the box, maybe someone set it the same.

If you can log in you should be able to see some hardware monitoring data from the iLO chip, it might be able to tell you what the problem is.

i did see a tag, tied to a the inside of the chassis, it had an administrator for user name, and a password :cool:
