Power-on problems
If the system does not boot after you have applied power, check the following factors that might have caused the boot failure.
•The external power cable may be loosely connected.
Check the power cable connection from the power source to the power cable socket on the rear panel. Make sure that the cable is properly connected to the power source and to the power cable socket.
•No power comes from the grounded power outlet. Have an electrician check your power outlet.
•Loose or improperly connected internal power cables.
Check the internal cable connections. If you are not confident to perform this step, ask a qualified technician to assist you.
Warning! Make sure all power cords are disconnected from the electrical outlet before performing this task.
•The ARMC/3 or BMC module is not installed in the server, or not properly seated.
Check the ARMC/3 or BMC module connection. Make sure the ARMC/3 or BMC module is properly connected to the mainboard. For more information on how to install the ARMC/3 or BMC module, see “Installing the ARMC/3 or BMC module” on page 77.
Note: If you have gone through the preceding actions and the system still fails to boot, ask your dealer or a qualified technician for assistance.
