Intel Server Board S3420GP fails to boot with video connected
- by Riley
All,
Building a new system using an Intel Server Board S3420GP motherboard and an Intel Xeon X3440 processor. Before installing this motherboard into the chassis we want to test that it will actually boot correctly. We have mounted the processor and RAM with no hard drives attached.
The boot sequence differs between the next variable:
1) Connecting video results in the system fans ramp up and down, twice, and then the system beeps with the same behavior repeating; the system status light shows "Amber"
2) With no video, the system goes through POST and the diag LEDs show that the system is missing a bootable device
Need some assistance identifying why the board would fail to POST with video connected.
// Update //
Using another Power Supply the system gets passed the fans ramping up and down twice. Video still does not display.
