Power ON

Follow the steps below to turn on the power. (A rack-mount model is shown here for convenience of explanation. However, the steps are the same for a tower model except that the modules are mounted vertically.

1.Power on the display unit and other peripheral devices connected to the server.

NOTE: If the power cord is connected to a power controller like a UPS, make sure that it is powered on.

2.Open the front bezel (or detach it in the case of a rack-mount model).

3.Each PCI module includes a power button, however only one of the power buttons will be lit. Press the lit POWER button located on the PCI module. See Figure 2-6.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn off the power before the logo appears.

While the logo is displayed on the screen, the server is performing a power-on self test (POST). For details, see "Check by POST" described later in this manual. Upon the completion of POST, Windows 2000 Advanced Server loads.

NOTE: If the server finds errors during POST, it will interrupt

POST and display the error message.
