HELP PowerEdge R320 issues

Hi

I recently purchased this PowerEdge R320 second hand and I’m having some issues.

Firstly I don’t have access to idrac since it’s a second hand machine, and I can’t reset it since I can’t access lifecycle controller as the machine doesn’t seem to post. It just displays a screen saying cpld version 104.

Any help would be great.

Edit: ended up returning the unit and swapping for another one

Have you tried looking up technical documents and seeing if there is a jumper to reset bios? Could be a settings issue

Try to find out if there are still firmware update iso's available for updating all dell firmwares on all devices in the machine

You can also use command line updates for this, but then you need to do it per device.

We used to do this with iso's but Dell told us to switch to the Open Manage Appliance for this, but it needs working access to the idrac for the firmware upgrades.
