First steps checklist
• AC power available at the wall outlet?
• Are the power supplies plugged in? Check the AC cable(s) on the
back of the chassis and at the AC source.
• Are all cables correctly connected and secured?
• Are the processors fully seated in their sockets on the server
board?
• Are all standoffs in the proper location and not touching any
components, causing a potential short?
• Are all add-in PCI boards fully seated in their slots on the server
board?
• Are all jumper settings on the server board correct?
• Are all jumper and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral
devices correct? To check these settings, refer to the
manufacturer’s documentation that comes with them. If
applicable, ensure that there are no conflicts - for example, two
add-in boards sharing the same interrupt.
• Are all peripheral devices installed correctly?
• If the system has a hard disk drive, is it properly formatted or
configured?
• Are all device drivers properly installed?
• Are the configuration settings made in Setup correct?
• Is the operating system properly loaded? Refer to the operating
system documentation.
• Did you press the system power on/off switch on the control panel
to turn the server on (power on light should be lit)?
• Is the system power cord properly connected to the system and
plugged into a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V or a NEMA 6-15R
outlet for 200-240 V?
• Are all integrated components from the tested components lists?
Check the tested memory, and chassis lists, as well as the supported
hardware and operating system list.
