Routing the cables through the cable-management arm
__
Is your server installed in a rack?
v No. Proceed to the next section, Starting your server.
v Yes. Do the following:
__
Place the rack-mounted system in the service position. For instructions, see Place the rack-mounted system
or expansion unit in the service position.
__

Starting your server
__
Plug in and turn on your console.
__
Plug in your server or uninterruptible power supply and attached expansion units.
__
Open the control panel door on the front of the server. The control panel should be lit and display 01 N V=F. The
server is not yet powered on.
Note:
1. Expect a delay between the time that the power is applied to the server or workstation and the time that an
initial program load (IPL) can be performed. When power is initially applied to the server or workstation,
the service processor performs a self-check and leaves the control panel blank for up to two minutes. You
must wait until the C1XX XXXX progress codes are complete and the control panel displays 01 before you
perform an IPL or change the control panel functions.
2. If 01 N V=F is not displayed, you might need to change the mode. To change the mode, see Accessing the
control panel functions.
__
Press the white Power On button. There is a short delay until the server powers on, approximately 5 to 20
minutes. When the server powers on, the control panel displays 01 B N V=F. If the control panel displays A900
2000, the console is not connected yet.
