Chapter 2. Operating your server
This chapter provides information to help you in the day-to-day use
of your server.
Important
The power line and power control behavior of the Netfinity 3500
M10 is different from some earlier server models. Note the
following:
Ÿ
When the power cord is first plugged in, the server might
appear to power on for a few seconds, then power off. This
is a normal sequence to enable the server to self-initialize.
Ÿ
The power switch will normally operate with a single touch.
However, in some circumstances the server may not
immediately power off. In this case, hold the power switch
down for approximately 5 seconds. The server will then
turn off.
Do not operate your server with the cover off. Proper cooling is
required for the reliable performance of internal components.
