Post subject: | EX490 - Won't Boot - Blinking Red Health Light |
I have had my Ex490 from new (Nov 2009) and have only had a few minor problems with it over the years. I've replaced the system drive over 6 years ago and my power supply two years ago. A week ago, I noticed that it was turned off unexpectedly. When I went to turn it on, it would attempt to boot twice and then shut down. It refused to turn on if I tried the power button again. If I disconnect the power from the back of the server and plug it back in, it will boot. When I push the reset button, to get the health lights to tell me something, I get a continuously blinking red light. I suspect the motherboard has fried, what else could it be? Could it need another power supply? |

It could be a bad psu. I suspect a bad drive. Quick check. Start by pulling out one drive at a time and boot. Repeat for every drive You will still get a error with a red health light. But when you pull a drive out that it will not shut down it probably is the bad drive. Or do it in reverse pull all the drives boot and then insert one at a time each boot starting with the os drive. |
