The LED codes on the R660 motherboard can signal various issues, such as a 5V switch fault or problems with connected USB devices, iDRAC cables, or the rear I/O card. To troubleshoot, perform a flea power drain, clear the NVRAM, and test with only the minimum components necessary for POST. If the server still does not boot, further inspection of the components may be required. [community thread]
To disable the liquid cooling setting, you can use an undocumented OEM IPMI command with ipmitool. Ensure you have root/admin privileges, and after executing the command, reboot both the iDRAC and the host operating system to apply the changes. [community thread]
To address a server that is installed upside down, first remove the side door of the rack to inspect the latch mechanism for any damage or bending. If the latch is obstructed, it may be necessary to contact technical support for further assistance, as removing the server could result in damage. [community thread]
The appropriate riser card for the R660 server that supports a full height SAS card is part number 540-BFFR. This riser configuration includes 2x16 FH slots and is designed for customer installation. [community thread]
The Dell PowerEdge R660 primarily supports UEFI mode for installations. If you are attempting to install a legacy OS, ensure that your hardware configuration allows for legacy boot options, as this may affect your ability to install in that mode. [community thread]
