Hello all, I have scoured the planet and have found absolutely nothing on this topic.
What does it mean when the server power supplies, PSU, both of them, blink their green lights?
According to the service and install document, it means power AC or DC is ok, but DC Output Not Enabled. (Mine are AC PSU if you need to know).
Also in another part of the document, when the fault LED is off and the status LED is green blinking, it says the 12v main off and either standby power mode or CR slave PSU is in sleep mode.
The above details can be found in the document titled:
Cisco UCS C240 M4 Server
Installation and Service Guide
May 06, 2015
Here is what is happening in the best I can describe:
Connect one or both power cords
Status lights (green ones) both begin to simply flash in a simple on/off pattern and doesn't stop or change. Observed over many hours.
Front panel LEDs shows the power button is Amber
When pressed the server attempts to power on and than very quickly it powers off again... <1sec
I can hear the fans attempt to start and see green illumination from inside the chassis briefly turn on and off again as well
Eventually, the front panel LEDs might show amber (system off/standby) for power button, and green for all but the network LED. Maybe this is a code of some sort. I have found nothing about this anywhere.
Server doesn't power on, however i can confirm the IMC is running, I can reach it over IP but cannot login. Not sure if there is a problem with the password needing to be reset or perform recovery procedures, which I also would need some help with, seeing as the only factory reset or similar things i have found say i need to log into the IMC to perform. sigh.
Much obliged fellow Cisco pros.
