Power On and Verification

Power On

After completely reassembling the system cabinet:
1. Reattach the system power cables.
2. Turn on all peripherals first, then turn on the system. The system memory is automatically
configured to the system by software.
3. If error messages appear, refer to the following "If There Is a Problem at Power On" section. If the
system boots completely with no error messages, proceed to the "Installation Verification" procedure.

If There Is a Problem at Power On

Incorrect memory extender installation may result in the following types of problems at power on:
• The boot process could be stopped.
• Log warning and display hex codes.
• Console warning messages.
If any of these problems appear, the probable cause is that the memory extenders are incorrectly seated.
To correct the problem:
1. Turn off power to the system.
2. Halt the boot process by pressing any key within the 10 second period provided by the system
software.
3. Type "ma" at the boot interface console prompt to get to the Main menu.
4. Repeat the power on procedure above.
Repeat the above four steps until the memory extenders are seated correctly (indicated by the system
booting successfully to the operating system prompt). Proceed to the "Installation Verification"
procedure.
