Turning on the system drawer

To turn on the system drawer for the first time:

1If using a UPS, turn it on first.

2Turn on the monitor and any additional devices connected to the system drawer. Listen for alarms which may indicate power problems.

3If multiple system drawers and a switch box are installed, press the switch box button that corresponds to the system drawer being turned on.

4Press the ON/OFF button on the system drawer.

Important If multiple system drawers are installed, you must turn on each system drawer and wait for it to start completely before turning on the next system drawer.

5Listen for alarms which may indicate power problems.

6Make sure the power indicator is illuminated. The monitor should display the normal Power On Self-Test (POST) information. If the monitor does not display information or the system drawer indicates an error has occurred, refer to the server system manual troubleshooting section.

7When the system drawer starts successfully, install the operating system, if necessary.

8Turn on the other system drawers by repeating Steps 3 through 7 for each additional system drawer installed.

After this procedure, the system drawer can be turned on using normal start sequences.

To turn on the system drawer using normal start sequences:

1Turn on devices and drawers attached to the system drawer first.

2When the devices and drawers attached to the system drawer are running, turn on the system drawer.
