Setting Up the System 2-11
Powering On Your System
Power on your system as follows.
1. Make sure all external devices, such as a video display, keyboard,
and mouse (optional) have been connected, and the power cords are
connected.
2. Power on the video display and any other external devices.
3. Press the push-button power on/off switch on the front panel. Verify
that the power-on LED is lit. If it is not lit, ensure the ac power cords
are connected to a functional ac power source.
After a few seconds your system begins the internal Power-On Self Tests
(POST). POST automatically checks the system board, CPU module,
memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.
!
CAUTION
Always allow POST to complete before powering down your
system.
!
CAUTION
The server management logic on your system board monitors
and logs system voltage changes. When powering down your
system you may experience a
1–5 second delay from the time you press the push-button
power on/off switch on the front panel and your system
powering down. This is normal system operation and is
required by the server management logic.
If you have problems powering on your system, refer to Problem Solving
in Chapter 5 of this User’s Guide.
