A wee bit off the wall to be sure, but is there a USB key or drive in the USB slot, and is the server trying to boot from the USB device? I have seen that happen both for servers and for PC's.<br />

Our office shut down today and we narrowed problem to Proliant ML350 server not booting. &nbsp;Our previous IT guy suggested restore with 2003 cd - we did but when it errored saying no drives found. &nbsp;We told him we'd seen No SCSI boot device found on ML 350 and he said sounds like scsi board is bad. &nbsp;I've been trying to loacte 305415-001 before monday and in the process spoke to a tech who said unklikely for scsi baord to go bad - maybe backplane? &nbsp;PLease help as we are in dire straights. &nbsp;The original problem may have been another server but we restarted all so not sure if bios hd order was lost in &nbsp;restart - is that possible?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
