My server stalls in the middle of boot up. - HP Compaq Proliant DL350 (345101-001) Server

Select DVD/ Pendrive as the boot drive.
insert boot dvd/ boot pendrive and restart the server.
It should prompt for Boot option from DVD/PD.

select the appropriate option and start installing the OS

you can change it to boot on your server if you want

That most likely will be your server, or Pogo's server lagging. Nothing you can do about it, except try to play when there is less traffic. I have this problem with Yahoo games, occasionally, and it's just plain server lag either provider or yahoo server. When they update the servers and add some, it's usually good to go for awhile, but the internet's just like the highways- all about traffic.
I guess it could be something else- maybe you need to defrag your harddrive if you haven't done that in awhile. I would do that, anyway, it never hurts.

Turn the computer off.
Remove the RAM from that J1/Slot6 slot.
Reconnect the power and start it.
Do you still get the "problem" message?

This is caused if there are any system files on your external drives OR if you have set the bios to be able to boot from usb devices

One or the other is where you need to look.

I don't have any experience with this product but I am 99.9% sure your problem is with Option 67. This path is from the root as defined for the TFTP server, i.e. root for the TFTP service is not the same as root for the server proper.

Most likely it should be something like:

\Boot\GhostNBF.vfd

VRM and NMI lights lit usually indicate an issue with CPU #2's VRM which can be replaced. Also check 5 lights on back middle of system. If VRM light is lit here remove CPU 2 and VRM and reboot system. If system boots, this was the issue...

Im pretty sure there is a usb boot option on mine - try going on the dell website and installing the latest BIOS firmware, you may notice this option become available as well as being up to date!

hv u tried booting from other CDs .
if u can boot from other CDs , then this 2003 CD is botched , change it.

you need to set the boot device order. Usually F12.
or you can go to bios with F2 or F10.

your cd-rom is wrong you need the Instalation and Server Management CD. I think it's possible to download this cd at their site.

good luck
