Powering On Your System - NEC EXPRESS5800/120Ld Service Manual

When connecting the power cord to a power control unit such as an UPS,
confirm that the power control unit is powered OFF. Connecting the power cord
while power is supplied to the power control unit may cause a failure.
Your system shipped with a power cord for the power
supply. Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC
power cord if it is not the exact type required.

Powering On Your System

Power on your system as follows.
1. Make sure all external devices, such as a video display, keyboard, and
mouse (optional) have been connected, and the power cords are connected.
2. Power on the video display and any other external devices.
3. Open the front door and press the push-button power on/off switch on the
front panel. Verify that the system power-on LED is lit. If it is not lit, ensure
the ac power cord is connected to a functional ac power source.
After a few seconds your system begins the internal Power-On Self Tests
(POST). POST automatically checks the system board, CPU module, memory,
keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.
Always allow POST to complete before powering down your
system.
The server management logic on your system board
monitors and logs system voltage changes. When powering
down your system you may experience a 1–5 second delay
from the time you press the push-button power on/off switch
on the front panel and your system powering down. This is
normal system operation and is required by the server
management logic.
If you have problems powering on your system, refer to Problem Solving in
Chapter 5 of this User's Guide.
After you have successfully powered on your system, insert the ExpressBuilder
CD-ROM into the CD-ROM device, reboot the system and follow the screen
prompts to run ExpressBuilder.
