[CentOS] OT: hardware, IBM 3650 M2 won't power on
I've never seen anything like this. We moved it from the data center
yesterday, and this morning I plug it in, and it won't power up. I find a
manual for it online, and it says that on plugging it in, wait 3 minutes.
The power button will flash 4x/sec, then slow down to once a sec, and at
that time you can power it up.
Well, it never stops flashing at 4x/sec. I've connected a network cable,
wondering if it's in wake-on-lan; I've tried connecting to it via its
management port, and *zip*.
I'm not going to do, as several folks' posts that I googled (been at
that
for hours), cut the cable and solder in an on/off switch. I have taken the
lid uff, reseated the PSUs, and the cable connecting to the front panel,
and nada.
Anyone got any ideas?

They don't have the budget, and they need this server *now*... it's one of their compute nodes, and at least one person is dead in the water. mark, incredibly frustrated with this stupid system> > Jason > > > > On 02/22/2017 04:08 PM, m.roth at 5-cent.us wrote: >> I've never seen anything like this.
