Turning the server on

Before turning the server on, make sure it is in its upright position; the

Workgroup Server 8550 is not designed to run on its side.

To turn on the server for the first time, follow these steps.

1Turn on the monitor.

See the information that came with your monitor for the location of the power switch. On Apple monitors, the power switch has this icon: I.

Note: You only need to turn on the monitor once if its power cord is plugged into the server. From now on, the monitor will turn off automatically when you shut down the server, and it will turn on automatically when you start up the server. (If the monitor’s power cord is not plugged into the server, it must be turned on separately each time you turn on the server.)

2Turn on all external devices.

External devices may include hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, or tape- backup drives. The server checks only once—at startup—for the presence of external devices, so you need to turn on the devices before you turn on the server.

3Turn on your server by pressing the Power key on the keyboard or pressing the Power button on the front panel of the server.

You’ll find the Power key at the top of the keyboard. You can recognize this key by the triangle outline.
