Hi folks,

I've been given a couple of rather ancient HP9000 K260 servers, each
with a large rack of external SCSI drives, EIA cabinets, PDUs etc.

When the first server is powered up, it goes through a couple of minutes
of tests, and then cycles through the following messages on the front
panel LCD:

FLT 12BF
CPU 2

FLT 11BF
CPU 1

FLT 7500
MEMORY

It never gets as far as RUN. I have completely failed to track down any
definition of these fault codes. Can anyone provide this information, or
any further insite into the nature of the problem?

The company that gave me the servers indicated that they were
functional, but sometimes required boards to be re-seated. I have
removed and re-seated both processor cards and the memory carrier
(although not all the actual memory cards on it), with no change. Any
other ideas of things to try?

I understand these machines still have some resale value. Is there
anyone in the London , UK are who buys these machines to break, or
resell, or whatever - they're just too damn big to keep...

Many thanks,

PJ.
