Intel 5800/120Ld manual Powering On Your System

When connecting the power cord to a power control unit such as an UPS, confirm that the power control unit is powered OFF. Connecting the power cord while power is supplied to the power control unit may cause a failure.

!WARNING

Your system shipped with a power cord for the power supply. Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required.

Powering On Your System

Power on your system as follows.

1.Make sure all external devices, such as a video display, keyboard, and mouse (optional) have been connected, and the power cords are connected.

2.Power on the video display and any other external devices.

3.Open the front door and press the push-button power on/off switch on the front panel. Verify that the system power-on LED is lit. If it is not lit, ensure the ac power cord is connected to a functional ac power source.

After a few seconds your system begins the internal Power-On Self Tests (POST). POST automatically checks the system board, CPU module, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.

!CAUTION

Always allow POST to complete before powering down your system.

!CAUTION

The server management logic on your system board monitors and logs system voltage changes. When powering down your system you may experience a 1–5 second delay from the time you press the push-button power on/off switch on the front panel and your system powering down. This is normal system operation and is required by the server management logic.

If you have problems powering on your system, refer to Problem Solving in Chapter 5 of this User’s Guide.

After you have successfully powered on your system, insert the ExpressBuilder CD-ROM into the CD-ROM device, reboot the system and follow the screen prompts to run ExpressBuilder.
