Hi Drew, Sorry it took so long to answer this but somehow it got by me unnoticed. The flashing power LED typically means a power related issue. One of the great things about Dell equipment is they supply lots of diagnostic help. If you don?t have the original diagnostic disk you can download the software from this link. http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R107682&SystemID=PWE_PNT_P3C_2550&os=WNET&osl=en&deviceid=10658&devlib=0&typecnt=1&vercnt=3&formatcnt=1&libid=36&fileid=142340 This utility is usually pretty good at finding hardware issues and is the first place to start. Let us know if you have any other questions and please don?t forget to rate the posting.

Computer not recognizing the hard drive. Look in BIOS to see if hard drive is listed. Reload system disc/CD.

It could be a couple of things 1. the computer Cpu fan is not working or is clogged inspect it and clean or replace.2 The power supply could be bad

Namrata_stha, The I912 error is referring to the System Event Log is full of events and because of this is unable to log anymore. You must clear the log in order for the Server Management controller to log any more events. Now depending on the OS installed there are different ways to clear it. If Windows Server 2k8 you would use this command - wevtutil el ' foreach { wevtutil cl $_ } Where with Server 2003 you can go tot he Event viewer and clear it. Let me know if this helps.

Please be more specific. You haven't actually asked a question. What are you trying to do? What happens that you aren't expecting?

You will have to get into the controlled setup in order to find out what the problem is, or you can simply hit ctrl-D and do the Dell disk diagnostics which will take an hour or more, but will give you an idea of where to start. Logically, if it won't boot, then your RAID is probably broken. it can sometimes be repaired through either the RAID or controller setup menu, which you can see during boot. go here, for the manuals and documentation on how to do that: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/poweredge-t105/manuals

what is your server model? in most cases you can use the operating disc to format the server drives

Go to start menu. click on 'control panel'. Select 'system and security". Then select 'system'. This should give you the info.
