SGI O2 stuck at boot with Amber LED

RE: SGI O2 stuck at boot with Amber LED
Before anything further occurs, please confirm you were following the “remove PSU first” rule on the O2 every time you did anything to it. O2 mainboards can be killed by a charged PSU, if you remove mainboard first without popping out the PSU beforehand. There isn’t a sufficient safety if the PSU is left in place and the mainboard is removed (if the PSU still holds residual charge). Drives and video IO doesn’t seem to be a problem.

Yes, people will say I’m confused and it’s just to not leave the power cable connected to the PSU on mainboard removal. Why take any chance since we know a charged PSU can kill. I always pop the PSU before I attempt to remove the mainboard.


In terms of your behavior, I swear I’ve heard people talk about this before.

Assuming you your board isn’t damaged, I’d try the reset/force boot jumper followed by an env clear/reset. Here: https://web.archive.org/web/201804240704..._Procedure
