I have a HP DataVault X510 Windows Home Server that does not appear to boot up any more. It turns on displays all three lights (power, network & health) for a couple of seconds then turns off for a couple of seconds and tries to boot up again.
I have checked the network port by plugging it into my laptop and it works fine. I have also tried clicking the status/recovery button on the front to either get some status lights or boot the server into recovery mode but that has not had any effect.
Please find a short video of the bootup sequence here: http://youtu.be/djQ8-JFJkrg
How can I determine why it is not booting/how to fix it?

Do the HDDs spin up? – Tim – 2012-04-04T06:23:10.383
It sounds like they start spinning up before it 'reboots'. I also tried turning it on without the drives in and it does exactly the same thing. – mundeep – 2012-04-04T12:12:07.123
You might see if HP has a user manual or other document that could help...http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/pfinder?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&tool=&query=DataVault+X510
