NetServer Will Not Power On

Follow these steps if the power/activity light does not light green after you press
the power-on button:
1. Remove the AC power cord, wait 15 seconds, reconnect the power cord,
and try again.
2. Verify all cables and power cords are firmly plugged into the respective
receptacles.
3. If the NetServer is plugged into a switched multiple-outlet box, ensure the
switch on the outlet box is turned on.
4. Plug a different electrical device (such as a printer) into the power outlet,
and turn on the device to verify the outlet has power.
5. Verify the power supply is firmly connected to the system board connector.
6. Verify the front panel power switch is connected to the system board.

Troubleshooting Sequence

To troubleshoot an installation problem, do the following:
First, ensure the NetServer is configured properly.
Most NetServer problems are the result of incorrect BIOS and SCSI
configurations.
If it is a network-related error, determine if the NetServer has enough
memory and hard disk drive capacity.
Consult the NOS manufacturer's manual and its requirements.
Verify all cables and boards are securely plugged into the appropriate
connectors or slots.
Remove all options added since the NetServer was received and then add
one option, and only one option, at a time.
NOTE If the NetServer has a large amount of memory installed, it
may take 30 seconds for the first screen to display.
