Problems with NEC Express5800/ft series

Fail to power on the server:

†Is the server properly supplied with power?

οCheck if the power cord is connected to a power outlet (or UPS) that meets the power specifications for the server.

οCheck if the two pieces of the provided power cord are connected to the main unit properly.

οMake sure to use the power cord provided with the server. Check the power cord for broken shield or bent plugs.

οMake sure the power breaker for the connected power outlet is on.

οIf the power cord is plugged to a UPS, make sure the UPS is powered and it supplies power. See the manual that comes with the UPS for details.

Power supply to the server may be linked with the connected UPS using the BIOS setup utility of the server.

<Menu to check: [Server] - [AC-LINK] - [Power On]>

οMake sure the POWER switch on the power unit is on.

†Did you press the POWER switch?

οPress the POWER switch on the front of the NEC Express5800/ft series to turn on the power (the POWER LED lights).

†Did you install the CPU/IO module properly?

οCheck if the CPU/IO module is properly installed in the server. Secure the CPU/IO module with screw located on the module removable handle. The server cannot be powered on unless it is screwed completely.

†Is the FAULT LES of the CPU/IO module on?

οRemove and reinsert the CPU/IO module and restart the server.
