    You need to refer to the manual "Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus
    Systems".

    According to this:

    The system hung while loading the software. This can be caused by a hardware
    or software problem. Action: Run the standalone diagnostics. If the
    standalone diagnostics run correctly, the problem may be a damaged disk
    data. Consider having the customer contact Software Support before
    reinstalling the operating system on the disk. Otherwise, go to Chapter 4,
    "MAP 0020: Problem Determination Procedure," on page 25. If a different
    problem occurs when you run the standalone diagnostics, correct that
    problem. If the standalone diagnostics still produces the same SRN, go to
    MAP 1540 in either the service guide or the installation and service guide
    for this system unit.

    So start off with standalone diagnostics.
    I would infer, given what you did to the server, that you have damaged one
    of the disks, or re-fitted it incorrectly.

    You may well need the service guide for the 43p, too. You can find this and
    other hardware manuals here:
