HPCompaq Proliant 1600

Clear NVRAM / Update server with latest firmware

The ProLiant ML110 server with System BIOS Version 16 supports a total of eight IPL devices. Four IPL devices, such as the IDE controller and the floppy controller, are integrated, leaving support for four additional PCI IPL devices (i.e., PCI card plugged into PCI expansion slots); however, the ProLiant ML110 has five PCI expansion slots. Therefore, it is possible to configure the ProLiant ML110 with five PCI IPL devices (such as SCSI controllers or NICs) and exceed the limitation of System BIOS Version 16
The resolution to the problem is to update the System BIOS Version 17 which supports a total of nine IPL devices and five PCI IPL devices. Update the ProLiant ML110 server to System BIOS Version 17

Remove the BIOS battery and BIOS jumper and place it again. You won't get the error message again at the startup

Hello,

Make sure you have turned on the USB Boot in the BIOS of the os. Once this is done, select the order you would like for the server to locate boot files. (Hard Drive, USB, CD/DVD, etc.) Once complete, insert the USB and reboot the server.

Good Luck

Hi,
Once the operating system is installed its quite difficult to create a partition . One way is to create is via a Third Party software like Partition Magic.

Use a different monitor and connect it directly to the server, if problem persist you have a problem with the systemboard or microprocessor.

my email [email protected] I can provide a replacement for the same power supply , it's a brand new one

the proliant 1600 is old , not worth repairing or fixing.
get a new one , cheap , faster , better and with fast ethernet too.
good luck

Dear Jaiveer

There are a lot of softwares which can help you to get the server details, both hardware and software as well.
Like BelarcAdvisor and SystemInfo (System Information for Windows). You can download SystemIfon from the link : http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html
