• Are all cables correctly connected and secured?
• Are the processors fully seated in their sockets on the server board?
• Are all standoffs in the proper location and not touching any components,
causing a potential short?
• Are all add-in PCI boards fully seated in their slots on the server board?
• Are all jumper settings on the server board correct?
• Are all jumper and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral devices
correct? To check these settings, refer to the manufacturer’s
documentation that comes with them. If applicable, ensure that there are
no conflicts—for example, two add-in boards sharing the same interrupt.
• Are all peripheral devices installed correctly?
• If the system has a hard disk drive, is it properly formatted or configured?
• Are all device drivers properly installed?
• Are the configuration settings made in Setup correct?
• Is the operating system properly loaded? Refer to the operating system
documentation.
• Did you press the system power on/off switch on the front panel to turn
the server on (power on light should be lit)?
• Is the system power cord properly connected to the system and plugged
into a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V~ or a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-
240 V~?
• Are all integrated components from the tested components lists? Check
the tested memory, and chassis lists, as well as the supported hardware and
operating system list.
