2-18 Setting Up the System
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. 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 cords are
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.
