hi
i have a poweredge t420 which is out of warrranty with the dreaded idrac issue. it just sits there initilizing and after a while reboots with the fans on full blast.
at this stage there is no display. i have found numerous procedures online to reset the idrac but none have worked. when i put in the power cable the server turns on immediately so the option of resetting the idrac with just power connected does not happen
i have done the minimum components post routine as well
i believe the idrac is onboard. my question is if i bought an idrac card and installed it in the idrac slot on the motherboard, would it disable the onboard idrac and will the server work properly then
