When the Server Does Not Start

This section provides systematic instructions on what to try and where to go for help
for the most common problems encountered during initial POST. The server must
first complete this test each time you power up, before it can load the operating
system and start running software applications.
WARNING: There is a risk of personal injury from hazardous energy levels.
The installation of options, and the routine maintenance and service of this
product shall be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the
procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with equipment containing
hazardous energy circuits.
If the server does not start:
1. Be sure that the server and monitor are plugged into a working outlet.
2. Be sure that your power source is working properly by checking the system
power LED. If the power source is not working properly, be sure that the Power
On/Standby button is pressed firmly.
3. Be sure that the power supplies are working properly by checking the power
supply LEDs.
NOTE: For more information about the location and status of LEDs, see Appendix C,
"System LEDs and Switches." For more information about power, refer to the "Power
Source" section in the Servers Troubleshooting Guide.
4. If the system does not complete POST or start loading an operating system, refer
to "Loose Connections" in the Servers Troubleshooting Guide.
5. If the server is rebooting repeatedly, be sure that the system is not rebooting due
to a problem that initiates an ASR-2 reboot.
Some operating systems reboot server when an error occurs. This is the default in
Windows 2000.
6. Restart the server.
IMPORTANT: If the server does not restart, proceed to the following section, "Diagnosis
Steps."
