Starting the server
Note: If your server does not start when you press the power
switch, do the following:
Ÿ
Make sure that all cables are securely connected to
the correct locations.
Ÿ
Make sure that the server cover is installed properly
(pushed all the way on).
If this does not correct the problem, have the system
serviced.
6. Check your monitor for POST results. When the test finishes:
Ÿ
The screen displays the IBM logo and a number that
represents the amount of available server memory.
Ÿ
If no operating system is installed, a prompt appears,
requesting that you insert a startable CD-ROM or a startable
diskette. Refer to your ServerGuide package for information
about installing an operating system.
Ÿ
If you have set a power-on password, a prompt appears on
the screen. If you have set both the power-on and
administrator passwords, you can type either password at
the password prompt. (See “System Security” on page 43
for instructions on setting and using passwords.) Type your
password at the prompt; then, press Enter.
Notes:
a. If you hear more than one beep, check to see if an error
message appears. If an error message appears, or if your
screen is blank, see Chapter 5, “Solving problems” on
page 157.
b. If your server stops running during testing or normal
operation, call for service. Describe the problem to the
service technician.
