Action
Power on the server and observe the front panel display.
Result: All LEDs on the panel illuminate for a few seconds. The
green power LED remains illuminated.
Observe the following server actions:
• Cooling fans on the front panel start up, and the red fault LED
next to each fan extinguishes.
• Drives spin up, and the amber hard drive activity LEDs over the
front panel display extinguish, and then flash with activity.
• LEDs illuminate temporarily as the system checks the floppy
drive, tape drive, and CD-ROM drive.
• The LED on each power supply lights up red as supply fans spin
up and components charge. LEDs turn green when the attached
power supply is fully operational.
Check the monitor for any error messages as the server counts RAM
and completes a POST.
