DL585 G2 don't post/boot or video
I tried to remotely update the firmware through the iLO. I didn't realize the disk will start auto-install. I got disconnected from iLO and couldn't reconnect. In the data center, the monitor was showing the booting error from the hard drive. I rebooted the server and since then I can't bring it up. It doesn't get to post and I have no video.
So far I tried resetting CMOS, removing the battery, removing and reinstalling components. Any idea's would be appreciated.

Should I be getting any video signal? I am not getting anything connected either from the front or the back panel.

Actually, I spoke to soon. After leaving the server on for about 5 minutes, it booted up. Thank you for your help.
fyi if you cannot coonect to the ilo I have seen this before reboot the server and if its still unresponsive remove or disable the ilo reboot the server then shutdown reenable or re-install the ilo and it should work unless its completely knackered which can happen but its rare imho

Actually, yesterday after I closed the question, I rebooted the server and it didn't boot up again. So I am back to square one.
Any LED's on the front of the server, indicating a power supply or system board fault?
ASKER
No LED warnings except the power supply. That is because I have only one cable plugged in. I have the server case opened and there is LED/Media board right next to the cd-rom. Besides the standard display for memory/cpu/cooling failures, it has two small LED displays further up with numbers labeled as Status. During the boot up process they change and then stop at 5 2. They must mean something but for the life of me, I can't find what they mean. I spent good 3 hours yesterday reading the manuals and I don't see them mentioned anywhere.
At the moment, I have doubts that it doesn't get to POST since when I remove all the memory, I get beeps. It is just that I get absolutely no video signal.
