power-control button.
Note: While the service processor in the blade server is initializing and
synchronizing with the management module, the power-on LED flashes rapidly,
and the power-control button on the blade server does not respond. This process
can take approximately two minutes after the blade server has been installed.
v Both the blade server and the monitor are turned on, and the monitor
brightness and contrast controls are correctly adjusted.
v The keyboard/video/mouse select button LED on the front of the blade
server is lit, indicating that the blade server is connected to the shared
BladeCenter monitor.
v The video cable is securely connected to the BladeCenter Advanced
Management Module. Non-IBM monitor cables might cause unpredictable
problems.
v The monitor works with another blade server.
v Some IBM monitors have their own self-tests. If you suspect a problem with
the monitor, see the information that comes with the monitor for instructions
for adjusting and testing the monitor. If the monitor self-tests show that the
monitor is working correctly, consider the location of the monitor. Magnetic
fields around other devices (such as transformers, appliances, fluorescent
lights, and other monitors) can cause screen jitter or wavy, unreadable,
rolling, or distorted screen images. If this happens, turn off the monitor.
