Power OFF
Follow the steps below to turn off the power. If NovaScale/ft Server series is plugged to a UPS, see manuals included
with the UPS or the application that controls the UPS.
1.
Perform a normal shutdown from Windows Server 2003.
The system will be powered off automatically. (Note: the POWER LED on the primary side will remain
illuminating when AC power is supplied.)
2.
Power off all peripheral devices.
POST Check
POST (power-on self test) is a self-test function stored on the motherboard of NovaScale/ft Server series.
When you power on the server, POST will start automatically to check the motherboard, ECC memory modules, CPU
modules, keyboard, mouse, etc. It also shows startup messages for various BIOS setup utilities.
According to the factory default settings, our logo appears on the display while POST is being performed. (To view
POST's details, press Esc.)
TIPS:
You can view POST details from the beginning without the need to press Esc when the
displayed: select [System Configuration] - [Advanced], and set [Boot-time Diagnostic Screen] to "Enabled"
(see Chapter 4).
You can view the test items and details from a management PC where ESMPRO Manager or DianaScope is
installed.
You do not always need to check POST details. You will need to check messages when:
You install a new NovaScale/ft Server series.
A failure is suspected.
You hear several beeps between the time of the power-on and OS start-up.
The display unit shows an error message.
