Dell Precision T5500 no booting
Dell Precision T5500 is not booting. I have attached an image of the error message I am receiving. Also it doesn't have a hard drive on it.
How can I fix this error so I can connect it to dell for the much needed software updates and system analysis. Also I tried to run F5 diagnostic but it was getting stuck on memory after 5%. Do I need a hard drive to run the OS. Any advice, recommendation will be much appreciated.
analysis.

From the first two alert looks like Memory module on DIMM 1 is failed and CMOS battery on the motherboard is having low voltage. You can replace these two to remove those alerts. These alerts are not blocking the server to boot.
You need to have hard drive storage to install operating system. As your system does not have any storage where operating system is installed it is throwing the error message of No boot device available. You need to connect Hard Drive and install OS to continue the booting of the server

Thanks for the info. I will ordered a Hard drive and I will update you. Also while I don't have the software, the system came with Window 7 Pro and I see the product key label on the server. Do you know if I can use my Window 7 Home CD from my other Dell PC to boot it or would you know where i can get a copy of the CDs.

Thanks again. I ordered a new 1TB hard drive from Amazon and they delivered it within 4 hours. I installed the new Hard drive and I was able to bypass the boot. As I mentioned on my earlier response. Since I don't have a copy of its Window 7 Pro. I tried to install Window 7 Home from my other Dell PC. After installation. I received this error msg. "Window Couldn't configure to run on the computer. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation." What do you think I should do.
Thank you!
