Power On the Server (System Power Button)


Caution

Caution  - Do not operate the server without all fans, component heat sinks, air baffles, fillers, and the cover installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if the server is operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.


  1. Verify that the power cords are connected and that standby power is on.

    Shortly after power is applied to the server, the SPM Fault LED blinks as the SPM boots. The SP Fault LED is illuminated solid green when the SPM has successfully booted. After the SPM has booted, the Power LED on the front panel begins flashing slowly, indicating that the host is in standby power mode.

    When main power is applied to the server, the main Power LED begins to blink more quickly, while the server boots and lights solidly once the OS boots.

    Each time the server powers on, POST can take several minutes to complete tests.
