If it's brand new, make it HP's problem and give them a call ([1-800-633-3600](tel:1800-633-3600)). Also I think you're in the wrong sub if you're looking for legit advice.
I put in a support ticket before this post. Also, in my experience, this sub is *much* more helpful than *that other sub*. And when it's not helpful, it's hilarious. Win-win.
You need to figure out how to reset the firmware and other things onboard like "pram" if present.Ā Before that take out all disks, all memory and all power supplies and put it back in. Reseat all riser cards if present too. There should be a hardware diagnostics tool in the HP Integrated lights out menus, at least with a hardware event log... Godspeed
I was able to "manually" flash the firmware via the iLO and afterwards it booted. So it was definitely something the ~~Smart~~ Crummy Update Manager did.
Or your reseller if you bought it through one.
Got an HP laptop in that would have a fuzzy screen on boot, turned around and gave it back to them within a week, and they said they would fix it. Invoice came in and I denied payment then they got all Pikachu faced when I told them we weren't paying until the issue was resolved.
Resellers, HP, not sure which one I hate worse.
I hate being sent to the manufacturer by the reseller. Like you sold me this shit and it was doa. You get on the phone with them we paid you a lot a of money
But it needs to be done exactly 12 minutes after the update starts. That way a significant about of programming has been written. This makes it easier for the machine to not boot.
This is after running the "Smart Update Manager". Either it's not as smart as it thinks it is or I'm not.
iLO works fine. There is a physical monitor connected and it never gets any video. No fans spin up. Nothing.
edit: I did open a support case. I'm just hoping some other shittysysadmin can help more quickly.
Akthully... I've seen some settings that wont allow a machine to boot if the cover is still showing "open". Doubt thats your case but might be worthwhile to make sure any buttons or sensors are plugged in and the cover is closed correctly.
-shittyadmin out.
> iLO works fine. There is a physical monitor connected
That's why this is the correct sub. ILO should tell you the needfuls. Prepare to download some shitty file from ILO to upload it into a shitty HP website. Then wait. Upload again because it's not working. Then wait again and send the file with dropbox to the tech. Then wait again while said tech opens up a ticket BECAUSE THE SHITTY SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING. A few days later they might send you a replacement for whatever.
Wrong Reddit for this reply butā¦
iLO should allow you to see the BIOS or IPMI logs.
Failure to post could be incorrectly seated RAM or PCIe cards. They get knocked loose by the FedEx crew.
Check videos on YouTube about how they handle boxes.
I had a Cisco UCS arrive where I saw the guy throw the box out of the truck into the parking lot. He put a hole in the side of the box. I would have refused shipment if I did not need it that day. I made the guy wait while I booted the server and ran a diagnostic disk. When the guy protested I pointed to the camera by our entrance.
> Can you tell if I'll find true love?
Not like this. However the eastern euro DELL accountants you get to know when you don't pay the bills are quite tenacious. Olga, if you're reading this. I like you.
I did that. Except just to see WTF it was doing. It wanted to install system firmware from early 2023 which was at least one major revision behind. It wanted to *downgrade it*. I said no thanks and deleted the ISO.
Honestly, to me, it looks like a short somewhere causing it to power down. I would try removing as many devices as you can and try again trial and error style.
I would start with those drives. As another user put it elegantly, make sure to shuffle them all up and put them into random drive bays. Raid cards love this, but only after that power washing.
EDIT: I don't have any hands-on experience with HP servers, only Dell, but is there an iDRAC alternative you can log into to check for system errors?
EDIT: OP was able to fix it by using iLO to flash a fresh BIOS image, looks like the BIOS image was corrupted thus causing the instant power-down with no errors.
Yes, it's called iLO (I assume that stands for Incredibly Lazy Operator). It is working fine. It shows no issues in the logs.
p.s. Shout out to ChatGPT for the iLO joke. I really am incredibly lazy.
Thats a great joke, why even leave a chair when you can press the power button remotely!
Does the iLO have some sort of diagnostic sequence you can run? It may at least give more information
I removed the drives and it does the same thing. I was going to shuffle them, but I accidentally dropped them in a bucket of water we keep in the server room for the leaky roof.
Ahaha. Wondering if it's a borked BIOS? Saw the other comment where you mentioned the smart update manager may have not been so smart in this case.
Is there an option in iLO to flash a new BIOS image?
>Is there an option in iLO to flash a new BIOS image?
FYI this was the fix. You win a cookie!
I ran Smart Update Manager again after I fixed it just to SEE what it was doing (without committing the changes). It was trying to "update" the firmware to a version that was over a year old and a major revision behind.
Yay! I'm not sure if you can, but you may want to edit the original post with this fix in case there is that one person scrambling to try and fix the same issue.
It did not POST at the time of this post (ha). However, It was a botched firmware update by Smart Update Manager. I installed firmware "manually" via iLO and everything works now.
This is incorrect, the whole point of iDRAC or iLO is to access the server even if it's powered off or having issues remotely, if you couldn't do this while it was powered off, it would sort of defeat the purpose.
It's a dedicated computer to control a larger computer in Leymens terms.
Yeah, I get it with like a network KVM. But last I knew, your Dell server had to get past post before it could use iDRAC.
Itās intended for getting to pre-boot settings. When itās powered off, how would its internal hardware function without power. IDRAC NIC card is on the server itself, not like a network KVM.
I know for sure our 3 poweredge servers with iDRAC 9 enterprise are accessible as long as at least 1 PSU has power, even if the server is completely powered off. iDRAC actually has the capabilities to work even without a CPU or any RAM present, as it has its own dedicated hardware.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Have you tricked a user into touching it, so you can blame them? Try putting a sign on it that says, āDo Not Touchā.
>Have you tried turning it off and on again?
You think this is my first rodeo?
>Have you tricked a user into touching it, so you can blame them?Ā
Holy shit, how many rodeos have you been to?!
There is a monitor on it. It does nothing. I tried taking all 5 drives out (The OS is on NVME drives not pictured). Same result. Just lots of blinkyflashy. Never any video. Never any fan noise. No beeps.
I was able to "manually" flash the firmware via the iLO and afterwards it booted. So it was definitely something the ~~Smart~~ Crummy Update Manager did.
those SMART managers are either amazing, or garbage, no in between. varies with models of course...
most likely it failed applying the firmware update, or got disrupted and then that killed the boot process.
id just avoid using it at this point, or download a new one and try that instead... I also typically only put my boot drives in at first when running the SMART crap. anything complicated makes it become a STUPID manager
Try taking it down to minimum config and see if it boots with proc 1 and dimm 1. If not, your board might be toast.
Also, see if there's any nonsense in the iLO log.
Then proceed to hang the mobo on your wall as a decorative piece
Nah, just unplug everything, make sure the cases are closed, take out all the drives, plug them back in, then blow into the USB ports. After that, say a prayer in spanish, plug the power back in, then turn it on.
If it doesn't work, rinse and repeat 3 times. Then call Eightch Pee.
Sounds like one or more of your fans got knocked loose in shipping.
There's an undocumented feature in some servers that if one fan fails, the others go to the noisiest profile the company could figure out. They've found that when that happens, every competent sys admin immediately investigates.
Try taking the system down to minimum config and see if it will boot. From there, add 1 part a time and test to see if you can isolate the problem.
Also check for loose cables on the inside.
Fuck that sounds like actual work :(
Also keep in mind it was working before running the Smart Update Manager, which they totally should have called the Crummy Update Manager.
We need a bot for this sub. After you respond to a post, it asks, āAre you sure this comment is shitty enough? It appears to contain useful informationā.
hmmm, you might be on to something...
[https://imgur.com/Jxr2Lk7](https://imgur.com/Jxr2Lk7)
It's the only bad thing I find in the logs. Pretty insane if this keeps it from even POSTing...
I had tried that only about 10 times. It turns out it was a botched firmware update by Smart Update Manager. I installed firmware "manually" via iLO and everything works now.
I recommend you run a defrag job. If itās RAID, your data is striped across each drive and you want all the data to be re-organized so that it runs more efficiently.
The power supply causes issues too if itās not working so before you shut it down, make sure you replace both PSUās at the same time. Do not turn it off first - shutdown should always be the last step. Run a second defrag afterwards just to be safe.
Reseat the memory. Make sure itās in there good when you do. I always use my memory reseating tool. The maintenance guy keeps calling it a ball peen for some reason.
This is why I buy my servers on ebay, 1/3 the price for at least 50% working, so it is a net-winā¦and the non working ones get resold as āuntestedā for a little money on the side!
This is going to sound stupid but give it a nice little smack on top as itās booting.
No lol but more to the point, check all your riser cards are seated properly. I had Dell that would do this, though I wouldnāt put it past HP, that the *proprietary* PCIe riser card *had* to be installed for it to boot. However it never quite sat right so I had to give it a little smack on boot.
It is fixable, but you need to sacrifice a rooster!
Then you have to thread the fine line of giving it just enough fresh blood to work, without it shorting out, but in my experience it helps immensely, if you have a good firm grasp around the neck of the rooster, when you shuffle it off its mortal coil!
Also, a good pair of scissors is better than an axe, if you cut yourself you will have to start over, since mixing the blood spoils the process!
From what I recall, a lot of hp server stuff won't work without warranty contract.
But... I haven't ever really used hp hardware at home.... so I'm probably wrong.
Ah, good old HP. I remember a time I had a new HP that wouldnt boot. Opened it up and the cables weren't plugged into the drive chassis, raid battery, etc. Its like someone gave up halfway through assembly. That and all of the DOA laptops we were getting from them, we switch to Dell servers and Lenovo laptops. Havent had a problem since.
If it's brand new, make it HP's problem and give them a call ([1-800-633-3600](tel:1800-633-3600)). Also I think you're in the wrong sub if you're looking for legit advice.

I like to push the pram a lot.
There may be small reset buttons, push them all
have you been having issues with the fans running full blast and ilo going unresponsive? Got a brand new DL380 with the same behaviour.
I hear ya. The other guys would probably come up with a solution involving donating large amounts of money to their favorite charity, Microsoft.
Annoing somebody else sis always a solution
Annoying stupid people is just a bonus. All the cool people in this thread had fun.
Lol - sysadmin is full of shit sysadmins and shittysysadmin is full of decent sysadmins š
Checks out some people just wanna get a good laugh lol
I was able to "manually" flash the firmware via the iLO and afterwards it booted. So it was definitely something the ~~Smart~~ Crummy Update Manager did.
Ah yes, when the update requires another update to allow access to your hardware.
In before you gotta pay for updates to not brick your phone (uhh ransomeware?)
Well, just like the American prison system. Criminals learn from other criminals. (Cell phone company taught the hackers a new trick)
Or your reseller if you bought it through one. Got an HP laptop in that would have a fuzzy screen on boot, turned around and gave it back to them within a week, and they said they would fix it.

Luckily my "**Value Added** Reseller" is pretty good about it.
Wash it with soap and water. Tell company you need a very expensive pressure washer if bucket doesnāt work.
It still doesn't work but the CEO was really impressed with how shiny everything is now!
CEOs are easily impressed by shiny things.
that includes little tiny lights. The more that are illuminated, the better!
Especially by shiny dashboards.
something something single pane of glass!
New data center opens, bishop comes thru to flick holy water on things - yikes.
Install in the rack first so you can do the other servers at the same time. I've seen a video of exactly that before, so clearly it normal practice.
I loathe having to wait for these "update managers" to finalize. It's best to unplug the machine way before the process ends to speed it up.
But it needs to be done exactly 12 minutes after the update starts. That way a significant about of programming has been written. This makes it easier for the machine to not boot.
Turns out it was something the ~~Smart~~ Crummy Update Manager did. I was able to "manually" flash the firmware via the iLO and afterwards it booted.
Glad you got it back up!
Yeah, I waited too long to brick this one. I'll definitely do the next one faster.
This is after running the "Smart Update Manager". Either it's not as smart as it thinks it is or I'm not. iLO works fine. There is a physical monitor connected and it never gets any video.

Open it up and void as many warranties as possible (Call hp)

> Can you tell if I'll find true love? Not like this. However the eastern euro DELL accountants you get to know when you don't pay the bills are quite tenacious. Olga, if you're reading this. I like you.
It's time to retry the update manager to see if it works now.
I did that. Except just to see WTF it was doing. It wanted to install system firmware from early 2023 which was at least one major revision behind. It wanted to *downgrade it*. I said no thanks and deleted the ISO.
Lenovo tells me to do the same. I tell them that I canāt load an OS if the raid card is dead. And they reluctantly send me the part.
Does it post in the iLO? Done iLO updates? Heard a story the other day of someone's HPE array rebooting 12 times while going through iLO updates
iLO is accessible and acts like everything is cool. I think it's in denial.
Did you slam it with the palm of your hand? Next step would be to kick it. Usually resolves right away. Itās like a vending machine.
You forgot the elbow smash
If all else fails, try a rack shake
Rack shake is amateur hourā¦Pros, like me, build their datacenter directly on a geological fault line!
Take the drives out and blow on them. Itās NES right?
I thought you installed RGB lights in that bitch

take the drives out. close your eyes and mix them about on a table. then slap them back in bays 1 2 3. repeat until it boots

Think about Wake-on-LAN. Just because the server is "off" doesn't mean it's not powered.

Iām not as old as dirt, but when I was born it was still a new idea.
Have you tried threats? If you power it on with a hammer in hand, it boots 90% of the time.
It worked!
it should. it knows you'd struck 6he fear of god(s) into it. lol
Ain't got no gas in it.
Take disks out. Go home. But seriously, have you tried taking the disks out and booting it up? Get a monitor on it??
There is a monitor on it. It does nothing. I tried taking all 5 drives out (The OS is on NVME drives not pictured). Same result. Just lots of blinkyflashy. Never any video. Never any fan noise. No beeps.
Just noticed that the first 2 disks on the left don't flash green like the others. Tried reseating the RAM or swapping them over?
It was a botched firmware update by Smart Update Manager. I installed firmware "manually" via iLO and everything works now.
Blow on the disks and rub you finger along that connection piece
Does it blink? Yes? Good. No? Good
The iLO should have any errors and possibly diagnostics.
iLO is in hard denial. [https://imgur.com/HxFBYEX](https://imgur.com/HxFBYEX)
The top one has a ! on it. What does that say? Does it give you any info when you mouse over it?
No, it has an (i). It just means informational. Not good or bad, man, it like, just is.
Well, I tried. Good luck.
I was able to "manually" flash the firmware via the iLO and afterwards it booted. So it was definitely something the ~~Smart~~ Crummy Update Manager did.

Try taking it down to minimum config and see if it boots with proc 1 and dimm 1. If not, your board might be toast. Also, see if there's any nonsense in the iLO log. Then proceed to hang the mobo on your wall as a decorative piece
Isn't being broke normal for HP?
Nah, just unplug everything, make sure the cases are closed, take out all the drives, plug them back in, then blow into the USB ports. After that, say a prayer in spanish, plug the power back in, then turn it on. If it doesn't work, rinse and repeat 3 times. Then call Eightch Pee.
Holy crap I thought this sub was satire.
A real shitty sysadmin can find the truth in any satire.
RGB is out
Sounds like one or more of your fans got knocked loose in shipping. There's an undocumented feature in some servers that if one fan fails, the others go to the noisiest profile the company could figure out. They've found that when that happens, every competent sys admin immediately investigates.
The first two drives didnāt blink, Iād take the other ones out, probably do less blink then at least
Thanks. Tried taking all 5 out. It does the same thing. (Note that there are NVME drives in the back for the sys OS)
Probably wipe those next
Theyāll fix it on the RMA
Try taking the system down to minimum config and see if it will boot. From there, add 1 part a time and test to see if you can isolate the problem. Also check for loose cables on the inside.
Right now everything is unplugged except power. Removed the 5 drives seen. It still does the same thing.
Do you have any pcie cards installed or risers? Remove all dimms except for 1 or 2 of them, drop it down to 1 processor as well. Then test.
Fuck that sounds like actual work :( Also keep in mind it was working before running the Smart Update Manager, which they totally should have called the Crummy Update Manager.

My server suddenly shut down for this problem after 5 hours of life. You can remove the network card and try again.
judging from the sound the other one is working fine, the users probably won't notice so just go take the rest of the day off. You have earned it.
Have you tried unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in?
I had tried that only about 10 times. It turns out it was a botched firmware update by Smart Update Manager. I installed firmware "manually" via iLO and everything works now.
Sometimes I intentionally break my servers because I donāt like green
