Proliant ML370 not powering on 1

[enrikie]

I have a compaq proliant ML370 and when we moved this into the COMPAQ branded rack - it gives an amber light but wont power on.

Anybody got any ideas??

I think the ML370 has a riser cage, which is the PCI board that plugs into the mother board. Reseat that, most of the time that is the issue. Or, just check for seating issues. The amber LED on the front indicates an internal fault.
Like I said, just reseat your processors, memory, fan connectors and power supply connectors. If you have a riser board then definately reseat it.
Good Luck.

ok sunny - tried all that, then found that we had only powered up one of the psu's.............that fixed it. ~At least 2 of the 3 psu's need power
