When attempting to start-up an HP Proliant DL-385 G6, I hear 1 long beep and the front panel of the server lights up amber. Internally everything is green.

Looking up the HP support website, there is no 1 beep error message. Can anyone suggest why the external device LEDs are amber and the heartbeat LED continually blinks red? (1Hz on then off)

Considering the age of this server I'd expect this detail to be easily found online. I'm guessing it's a critical error, as nothing is shown on the monitor, despite the server fans kicking in happily.

There don't appear to be any lights on the HDDs.

Found that the risers were not seated correctly. Removing from the metal casing and manually seating them immediately fixed the issue.
