When the Server Does Not Start

Complete these steps if the server does not start:
1. Verify that the computer and monitor are plugged into a working outlet.
2. Make sure your power source is working properly:
G
Check status using the system LED indicator. See Appendix D for
the location of the system LED.
G
Was the momentary contact power switch pressed firmly?
See "System Power" in Chapter 7 for an explanation of this
operation.
Refer to the "Power Source" section in the Compaq Servers
Troubleshooting Guide for details on what else to check.
3. Make sure the power supplies are working properly.
G
Check status using the power supply LED indicators. See the "Power
Supply LED Indicators" section in Appendix D for the location of
these LEDs, and an explanation of statuses.
G
Also refer to the "Power Source" section in the Compaq Servers
Troubleshooting Guide.
4. If the system does not complete the Power-On Self-Test (POST) or start
loading an operating system, refer to the "General Loose Connections"
section in the Compaq Servers Troubleshooting Guide
5. If the server is power cycling, verify that the system is not rebooting due
to an Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2) reboot caused by another
problem.
In the Compaq Servers Troubleshooting Guide, refer to:
G
"Automatic Server Recovery-2 (ASR-2)"
G
"System Short" for other reasons for power cycling
NOTE: ASR-2 can be enabled to restart your server, automatically loading the operating
system. Should a critical error occur, ASR-2 will log the error in the Integrated
Management Log (IML) and restart the server. The system ROM will then page the
designated administrator and execute the normal restart process.
6. Restart the server.
