panel. If the problem remains, replace the operator information panel.
• If the server does not start, bypass the power-control button by using the
force power-on jumper. If the server starts, reseat the operator information
panel. If the problem remains, replace the operator information panel.
2. Make sure that the reset button is working correctly:
a. Disconnect the server power cords.
b. Reconnect the power cords.
c. (Trained technician only) Reseat the operator information panel cable, and
then repeat steps 2a and 2b.
• (Trained technician only) If the server starts, replace the operator
information panel.
• If the server does not start, go to step 3.
3. Make sure that both power supplies installed in the server are of the same type.
Mixing different power supplies in the server will cause a system error (the
system-error LED on the front panel turns on).
4. Make sure that:
• The power cords are correctly connected to the server and to a working
electrical outlet.
• The type of memory that is installed is correct.
• The DIMMs are fully seated.
• The LEDs on the power supply do not indicate a problem.
• The microprocessors are installed in the correct sequence.
5. Reseat the following components:
a. Operator information panel connector
b. Power supplies
6. Replace the components listed in step 5 one at a time, in the order shown,
restarting the server each time.
7. If you just installed an optional device, remove it, and restart the server. If
the server now starts, you might have installed more devices than the power
supply supports.
8. See "Power-supply LEDs" on page 51.
9. See "Solving undetermined problems" on page 73.

operating system, complete the following steps:
a. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
b. Turn off the server by pressing the power-control button and hold it down for
5 seconds.
