"Happy Days" are here again..


Just sit on it!
I'm glad that you fixed it, and I'll be careful with my 5500R

Thanks for the reply. I did that, and the machine will still
not power up.



I solved it. The CPU modules and the terminator boards were not seated
properly. I read aboutthis on the HP forums for the 5500. It was suggested
that you 'sit on them' to get them seated properly. I didn't quite do that,
but I jamed them in there and all of the Interlock faults lights went off.

It's now up and running again.


Thanks, Jim

Some more info on my Proliant 5500 problems.

When I plug the system into the wall socket, the green power lights
on
the back of the 2 power supplies come on. As do alot of other lights
in
and
around the motherboard, which includes the ones described on the
motherboard
in the previous post.

When I press the power button on the front panel, nothing happens.
The
green lightr on the front does not come on, no signal is sent to the
monitor as
the monitor flashes, continually, the "No Signal" message.

I've tries hitting all of the 'F' keys when in this mode but
nothing happens.

Did I do something real bad to this machine when I opened up the
cover
and removed and then reinserted the CPU's? When I removed and
reinserted
the
CPU's, the unit was most definately OFF, but was still plugged into
the
wall.
