PowerEdge Unable to wake from sleep or hibernate

29 Oct 2009 09:29PM

I was in the middle of installing Ubuntu 9.10 Server and left the install for about 20 minutes came back and the server is now in hibernate/sleep now.  I've tried holding down the power button to either force the start-up or shut-down of the server, but I'm not able to get it out of hibernate/sleep.  After holding down the power button for 3 seconds, the amber flashing light goes off.  I then push the power button again and it returns right back into the amber flashing light on the power button.  Not sure what else to do.

Server: PowerEdge SC420

OS: Ubuntu 9.10 server (in mid-install)

Turns out it is the power supply.  According to the Information Guide (or some documentation) the blinking amber light on the power button says you have power supply issues.  I tried a different power supply and the system powered on just fine.  Problem is that the new power supply has the power plug in the wrong spot since it won't match up to the hole in the case.  Dell sells a refurbished one for $49, but I found one online for $29 that hopefully works. (http://www.outletpc.com/c1011.html) If it doesn't I'll update this post with my further saga.
