Starting Up Your Server
Before you can start using the equipment you installed, you may need to install software that
the equipment requires or configure the equipment. For example, hard disks may need to be
initialized with a disk-formatting utility. See the documentation that came with the
equipment for additional installation or configuration instructions. Some older devices may
require updated drivers to work with your computer. (A driver is special software that is
installed in your System Folder.) Contact the device’s manufacturer for information on
obtaining driver software.
Read this chapter for information about turning your server On or Off and some
troubleshooting tips.
Setting Up Your Server and Turning It On
Follow these instructions to set up your server for the first time:
1 Read Chapters 1 and 2 of this manual to set up your server and connect it to the network.
2 Turn on the monitor.
See the information that came with your monitor for the location of the power switch. On
newer Apple monitors, the power switch is located on the front.
The power indicator light may not come on until you turn on the computer in the next step.
Note: Some monitors turn on automatically when you start up the computer and turn off
automatically when you shut the computer down. You turn other monitors on or off
separately.
3 Press the Power button (®) on the Apple USB keyboard or the Power key (π) on an ADB
keyboard.
You can also press the power button (®) on the front of the computer.
