■
Is the DIMM board installed securely?
- Check whether the DIMM board is inserted into the mating connector securely.
- Make sure the jumper switches have been returned to their original positions
after CMOS clearing. See "Configuring Mother Board Jumpers" in Chapter 4
for the positions of the jumper switches.
Fail to power on the server:
■
Is the server is properly supplied with power?
- Check if the power cord is connected to a power outlet (or UPS) that meets the
power specifications for the server.
- Check the power cord for broken shield or bent plugs.
- Make sure the power breaker for the connected power outlet is on.
- If the power cord is plugged to a UPS, make sure the UPS is powered and it out-
puts power. See the manual that comes with the UPS for details.
Power supply to the server may be linked with the connected UPS using the
CMOS Setup utility of the server.

Is the memory size large?
- The memory check may take a few seconds if the memory size is large. Wait for
a while.

Did you perform any keyboard or mouse operation immediately after you started
the server?

POST may detect a keyboard controller error and stops proceeding. In such a
case, restart the server once again. Do not perform any keyboard or mouse oper-
ation until the BIOS start-up message appears when you restart the server.

Does the server contain appropriate memory boards or PCI devices?
- Operation of the server with unauthorized devices is not guaranteed.
