Problems with the Server

Fail to power on the server:

Is the server is properly supplied with power?

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

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

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

If the power cord is plugged to a UPS, make sure the UPS is powered and it outputs 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]>

Did you press the POWER switch?

Press the POWER switch on the front of the server to turn on the power (the POWER LED lights).

Fail to power off the server:

Is the POWER switch enabled?

Restart the server and start the BIOS setup utility. <Menu to check: [Security] - [Power Switch Inhibit]>

Is the server running in the Secure Mode?

The POWER switch is disabled in the Secure Mode. (Forced shutdown is also

not available.) To release the Secure Mode, enter the password specified with the BIOS SETUP utility.
