Thanks.

After removing all PCI cards, RAM, reseting the processor the server and powered on the server the fan started with error msg on display intrusion as I have the cover open.

If I try to put all cards and memory back on I have the original error back again.

Can I ask you which jumper I need to move in order to reset the NVRAM properly?

Thanks,
Rod

Hi Rod,

It is not a matter of resetting NVRAM. One of the devices you put back in is causing this issue.
Please 'undress' the server again and put one item at a time back in and test if it will boot.
