Restarting the System

When you turn the system power back on, verify that the system boots and resumes normal operation. If you are restarting the system after upgrading the DRAM, expect that it will take the system longer to complete the memory initialization portion of the boot sequence with more DRAM. (See the “Verifying System Startup Sequence” section on page 66 .)

Follow these steps to verify that the RSP8 is installed and functioning properly:

Step 1 Check the RSP8 connections to make sure they are secure:

•The RSP8 is inserted all the way into its slot, and both captive installation screws are tightened.

•The console terminal is turned on and is connected to the console port.

Step 2 Observe the RSP8 LEDs. While the system initializes, the CPU halt LED on the RSP8 stays on. It goes off when the boot process is complete. As the RSP8 initializes each interface processor, the status LEDs on each interface processor go on and off in irregular sequence.
