3-20 Setting Up Your Server

TURNING ON THE SERVER

Turn on the server and follow the on-screen instructions for setup.

IMPORTANT: Before turning on the server:

„Some optional boards require setups with the SETUP utility before installation. If the server has a PCI board with the PCI-to-PCI bridge installed, the SETUP utility is enabled to launch. Check on the board specifications to find out whether it requires pre- installation setups before actually installing the board.

„Some installed optional devices or connected peripheral devices require setups before proceeding to the next step.

To use the server with no optional devices installed besides the graphic board, install a desired OS to the server.

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.Make sure that the floppy disk drive contains no floppy disk and the CD-ROM drive contains no bootable CD-ROM.

4.Open the front bezel.

5.Press the POWER switch.

NOTES:

„If the power cord is connected to the power control unit such as the UPS, turn on the power control unit.

„If a remote management card (RMC) is installed in your server, connect the power cord and wait a few seconds before pressing the POWER switch. The POWER switch does not work in a few seconds after connecting the power cord due to RMC firmware start-up.
