X460-24T will not go past DRAM POST during boot up

[Jeff_Bebko]

Sorry but I rather new so, I apologize in advanced if this has already been asked.

I am using the HyperTerm to talk to the X460, having the serial port of the computer connected to the X460, I start the HyperTerm session (9600/8/None/1/Xon-Xoff). I reset the power to the X460, the device will being to boot but there seems to be a problem after the DRAM POST. The next line after DRAM POST will be two hearts. I've tried pressing the enter key numerous times, upward of 100. I've tried to re-boot the device with the space-bar press...no joy on either of these methods. Does anyone have an idea to the problem I am seeing?

Like Drew said it probably needs to be replaced. I had a similar problem with a couple of X450's that would never boot. We ended up replacing them.

Cheers,

Ed.

Jeff, it sounds like your X460 might need to be replaced via RMA.

Also, I slaved in a different 460 and I could console in to at least get passed the AAA Login...

The Management light will blink at 2Hz when the 460 seems to hang-up on the DRAM-POST during boot up. Documentation for the 2HZ blink rate of the Management light indicates the POST is in Progress. I am not sure how to determine if there is a DRAM-POST problem. Is it possible that an EXOS Image is not installed on my switch?
