3. Make sure that both power supplies installed in the server are of the same type.
Mixing different power supplies in the server will cause a system error (the
system-error LED on the front panel turns on).
4. Make sure that:
• The power cords are correctly connected to the server and to a working
electrical outlet.
• The type of memory that is installed is correct.
• The DIMMs are fully seated.
• The LEDs on the power supply do not indicate a problem.

restarting the server each time.

the server now starts, you might have installed more devices than the power
supply supports.
