Just a note before i explain whats wrong. This is my first time working with a industry level server. I have built and managed servers out of old pc parts so i know the "basics" if you will.
So about a week a ago, my college did an upgrade to the servers. Removing 3-4 ProLiant G5 DL380 servers for something fancier and new. They offered them up to my class ( I am in a networking and computer hardware major) to those that want them. I eneded up taking one home to use as a sandbox and learn what industry level servers are like. Everything but the hard drives, ram and a CMOS battery were included.
I did my research for the ram, the offical document said it needs PC2-5300 ECC Ram. Got 32GB (4GB x 8). I also got 2 HP 2.5" drives and a 2032 battery.
Today i went to put it all together and couldn't even reach the point to enter RBSU. I am getting two short beeps on post, the display is active but is a black screen ( i know its outputing as the monitor no longer says no input). I have tried removing everything but one stick of ram, a processor, and one psu, but still the exact beep code.
If anyone has some tips for me i would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance!
