Prerequisites
Before you power on the server, you must complete the following tasks:
•
Install the server and internal components correctly.
•
Connect the server to a power source.

As a best practice for the internal components to operate correctly, do not perform the power on
action immediately after powering off the server. Wait for over 30 seconds for HDD drives to
stop rotation and electronic components to be powered off completely
