Checking Basic Power Problems

1 If the power indicator on the system front panel or power supplies does not indicate that power is
available to the system, ensure that the power cables are securely connected to the power supplies.
2 If the system is connected to a PDU or UPS, turn the PDU or UPS off and then on.
3 If the PDU or UPS is not receiving power, plug it into another electrical outlet. If it still is not receiving
power, try another PDU or UPS.
4 Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet and turn on the system.
If the system still is not working properly, see "Troubleshooting Power Supplies" on page 105.

Checking the Equipment

This section provides troubleshooting procedures for external devices attached to the system, such as the
monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Before you perform any of the procedures, see "Troubleshooting External
Connections" on page 99.

Troubleshooting IRQ Assignment Conflicts

avoid this type of conflict, see the documentation for each PCI device for specific IRQ requirements.
