This is a newly set up C220 with a new CPU, memory and drives. The server was running great for about a week. Then we started to do some setup things with ESXi and that's when the server shut off unexpectedly. After that the only thing the server does is blink the power led orange, and the identification led blue when plugged in. See videos attached.
I have tried reseating all of the drives, memory, fans and power supplies. I took a power supply from another C220 that has been running fine without issue and the same thing happens, orange power led blinks and blue ID led blinks. Any ideas?

Hey Kirk, we did get the IP settings for that set up, and then right after that we started configuring ESXi and that's when it crashed and went into that blinking LED state.
The server doesn't even power on at all though. No matter what buttons I press it doesn't power up to even try to get to the logs... that's where I'm stumped.
Unfortunately no, we tried new power supplies, one CPU only less memory. Nothing seemed to work. We chalked it up to a short somewhere on the board. Very sad as this was a nice server.
Same problem on one we just shipped out. Worked perfectly in our lab, then this once on-site. Nothing I've done has made a difference, looking to swap the whole system board now.
