Chapter 2. Using the Server
This section provides information on how to start and use the server.

Starting the Server

Perform the following steps to start the server.
1. Turn on all attached devices.
2. Turn on the server.
3. If power does not come on when you turn on the server, ensure that the power
cord, located at the back of the server, is plugged in. If this does not solve the
problem, go to Chapter 8, “Determining Hardware Problems.”
When you turn on the server, the Power LED comes on and the server starts a
POST (power-on self test). During this test, the disk status LED flashes intermittently.
The server beeps a short beep, and progress indicators appear on the operator
panel display (if a display is attached).
