1. Check the event log for any events related to the server not powering on.
2. Check for any LEDs that are flashing amber.

power supplies in the server will cause a system error.
b. Make sure that the power cords are correctly connected to a working electrical outlet. The power
source meets the input power requirements for the installed power supplies (see the power supply
labels).
c. Disconnect and reconnect the input power cords.
d. Reseat the power supplies.
e. Replace the power supplies one by one, and check the power button function after installing each
one.
