then repeat steps 1a and 1b.

information panel. If the problem remains, replace the operator
information panel.
v
If the server does not start, bypass the power-control button by using the
force power-on jumper (see “System-board switches and jumpers” on
page 29). If the server starts, reseat the operator information panel. If the
problem remains, replace the operator information panel.
2.
Make sure that :
a.
The power cords are correctly connected to the server and to a working
electrical outlet.
b.
The type of memory that is installed is correct.
c.
