After a few seconds your system begins the internal Power-On Self Tests (POST). POST automatically checks the system baseboard, system I/O board, CPU module, ECC memory modules, keyboard, mouse, and most installed peripheral devices. POST also displays the start messages of the BIOS setup utility during execution.

The POST check results should be checked in the following cases:

!When the server is being used for the first time.

!When the server appears to fail.

!When the server beeps many times between power-on and OS start-up.

!When an error message appears on the display unit.

Note: For error messages that appear on the display unit, refer to subsection POST Error Codes and Messages in Chapter 5 of this Guide.

!CAUTION

Always allow POST to complete before powering down your system.

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.

Powering Off the Server System

When server system power is on, pressing the power on/off switch on the front panel of the server turns the power off.

To turn the server system power off:

1.Shutdown the operating system (OS).

2.Press the power on/off switch on the front panel of the server (see Figure 2-13. The power-on LED goes out.

Note: Check to see that no error messages are displayed on the LCD panel during power-off.

3.Power off the peripherial devices.
