Remove all accessories, except the primary boot hard disk drive.
◊
Replace the cover and connect all cables.

If a Power-On System Hardware Test Error Message Appears
If an error occurs during the power-on system hardware test (when the NetServer
starts) details of the error are displayed. Follow the instructions on the screen.
It is recommended that you correct the error before proceeding, even if the
NetServer appears to start successfully.
If the NetServer starts, but the power-on system hardware test still reports an error
message, clear the CMOS memory, as described below.
Clearing the CMOS Configuration
You may need to clear the CMOS configuration if the configuration has been
corrupted by a program, or if incorrect settings made in the Setup program have
made the display unreadable.
