    We have an IBM p5 9115 server that is not working.

    It has power but will not boot.

    It has no video card.

    I think this is the IBM spec:
    http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=dd&subtype=sm&appname=pseries&htmlfid=897/ENUS9115-_h01#Header_6

    We are out of IBM support (it is only used for test & dev ... but is needed) and wonder if anyone can give us any ideas?!

    It lights on the power supply
    Apparently starts to boot
    But fails to boot

    On the right hand side at front there is a pop-out control for power on/off & booting etc and when popped out it has a small lcd display.

    On the front there is an orange exclamation mark that is lit up - no other light on the front is lit.

    When popped out the small lcd is lit with '@' symbol (i think) that circles round & round the outside edge of the small screen

    By age, p5 52A and 51A are dying... your server lost its FSP (flexible service processor, a hardware management, monitoring and diagnostics module). You need to buy one because you don't have a support contract. Search on eBay.

    It looks like the CPU info is:

    (#7679) -2-core 1.9 GHz POWER5+ Processor Card, 36MB L3 Cache

    Is this part of the info required?:
    (#7689) - One Processor Entitlement for Processor Feature #7679

    Is that the part(s) that we will have to replace (assuming diagnosis is correct)?
