Turn on Video Monitor and Server
1. Make sure all external devices, such as a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, have been connected.
2. If present, remove drive protection card from the diskette drive.
3. Turn on the video monitor.
4. Plug the female end of the server AC power cord into the input receptacle on the back of the
chassis.
5. Plug the male end of the server AC power cord into a wall outlet (a grounded, three-pronged
AC power outlet; see page 9 for outlet information).
NOTE
When you plug the AC power cord into a wall outlet, the server may turn on
and boot automatically. In this case, you do not need to turn the push-button
on/off power switch on the front panel.
6. If the server does not come on when you plug it into the AC outlet, press the push-button
on/off power switch on the front panel. See Figure 18 on page 26.
7. Verify that the main power LED on the front panel is lit. After a few seconds, the Power-On
Self Test (POST) begins. See Figure 18 on page 26.
Run Power-On Self Test
Each time you turn on the system, the BIOS begins executing the Power-On Self Test (POST).
POST discovers, configures, and tests the processors, memory, keyboard, and most installed
peripheral devices. The length of time needed to test memory depends on the amount of memory
installed. POST is stored in flash memory.
1. Turn on your video monitor and system. After a few seconds, POST begins to run and a splash
screen is displayed.
2. While the splash screen is displayed, you can either
Press <F2> to enter the BIOS Setup. See "Changing the BIOS Setup" on page 28.
OR
Press <Esc> to change the boot device priority for this boot only. See "Changing the Boot
Device Priority Temporarily" on page 30.
3. After pressing <F2> or <Esc> during POST, you can press <Ctrl+A> to run the SCSISelect
Utility. See "Running the SCSISelect Utility" on page 31.
4. If you do not press <F2> or <Esc> and do NOT have a device with an operating system
loaded, the boot process continues and the system beeps once. The following message is
displayed:
Operating System not found
5. At this time, pressing any key causes the system to attempt a reboot. The system searches all
removable devices in the order defined by the boot priority.
6. If you want to boot from a hard drive loaded with an operating system, make sure that the hard
drive is installed and push the Reset button on the front panel.
