I received a second Octane a while ago, due to moving I haven't had a chance to work with it much. When I received the unit, I had to reseat the mother board which took about 10 times before the Octane would boot.

The good idea fairy hit me last week, and I decided to install additional ram from 512 to 2G. Currently the unit will not post, I get the fans on no lights on the light bar.

Could this be an issue with the XBOW?

To date the following has been done in an attempt to isolate the issue:

- Pulled the mother board put into working Octane, boots first try no issues with the additional ram installed fully functional
     - Installed motherboard back into non functioning Octane, same issue no light bar, fans on

- Put a console cable on the broken octane,and receive nothing on the console
     - Tested known good cable and output from known working octane on which I can see console out put, broken Octane receive nothing

- Pulled the front panel off of the broken Octane once powered up
     - All green lights, no red lights present

- This is the same Octane that a Digital video board will not show attached to the EXMI
     - EXMI / Digital video have been reseated
     - No change, still no post or video output

- The other odd issue is, the light bar only shows red once it goes through post like normal and then it's completely dead. When the unit would boot, the lights were dead on the light bar on a known good working light bar pulled from the other Octane.
     - Tested this against a known working light bar from the other Octane, and bought a replacement thinking the light bar itself was the problem.
