dell poweredge 2900 server lcd module pinout in stock

The next least intrusive thing to do would be a power drain, which would just involve pulling the power cords and then holding the power button for 30 seconds. This will force the BMC/iDRAC to restart. If you still have problems after that, testing the system at the minimum to POST would be the next thing I do. The following components are considered the minimum to POST for this server:

Could someone with a working 2900 do me a favour and grab a multimeter and get some voltage readings from the PDB or the Backplane? Specifically I need the voltages for the BKPLN connector (top left in this image):

First remove both power cables and hold power button in for ten seconds to drain any residual power. (How do I Reset and Drain Power of my Dell PowerEdge Server?)
It means that the server powers on and the Dell screen appears but when the operating system should be loaded, the error "No Boot Device Available" is displayed and nothing happens. No power and no post issues are explained in this article: Troubleshooting a Server that does not start.
After the server completes the Power On Self-Test (POST) phase, it tries to boot a bootable device. A boot device is any piece of hardware that can read or contains the files that are required for a system to start. A default bootable media can be selected in the BIOS and by default the raid controller card (PERC) is selected first. Files available in a bootable device (RAID, USB drive, DVD, ISO file) contain instructions to start the operating system. When these files cannot be found, the error "No Boot Device Available" is displayed.
Important:When removing/replacing parts, always remove the AC power cables and allow 10 seconds for the flea power to dissipate. After reinserting the AC power cable allow two minutes before powering the server on, this allows time for the iDRAC to power back-up, otherwise error messages will not be reported correctly.
If the server now completes POST, plug the external devices back in one at a time until the defective device is found. Replace the defective device once it has been isolated.

Confirm that the monitor cable is connected to the correct video output on the server. If an add-on video card has been installed, be sure that the monitor cable is connected to it rather than the integrated video source.

This article shows how to start the Hardware Diagnostic on PowerEdge servers, which is a tool provided by Dell for basic troubleshooting and maintenance.

I have a Poweredge T300 tower server, intel Xeon processor (LGA775 chipset I do believe, Socket T?) I bought the computer missing several components including the front panel. The Front panel has not only the power/reset button, but also two usb ports and a LCD readout and connects to the mobo 40 pin header.
I have been trying for the last several weeks to get this server to start without the front panel, by means of trying to pinout this 40 pin header with a multimeter. I have had no luck "jumping" the pins I thought to be the right ones. I am able to get it to initially start, but shuts immediately back down after around 2 seconds. Any idea"s as to much pins need to be used to wire in a different button? My thoughts are it needs to have something other than a "jumping" of two pins.

I’m sure these contacts (psu side connectors) are gauged well for 1600w or less, but not above that. I have d2000 and z2000 dell psu varienta. I was much looking forward to the high power density this combination would offer. However, the breakout board isn’t up to the task. It quickly overheats at the psu connector. I even tried some little known tricks like adding Oxgard ( antioxidant, thermal paste and conductivity promoter), beefing up the solderments and pointing a fan at the breakout board. It still heats up well over 100c and baked the connection on the psu side.
