If any errors are encountered, the system displays them on the
monitor.
•
If a monitor is not connected or the system is unable to display an
error, an error beep code sounds.
If the system encounters an error, it is most likely a nonfatal one, meaning
the system will function until the error is corrected (usually through the
BIOS Setup). In the rare case of a fatal error, see “Quick check” on page 5
below. If the information in this guide does not solve the problem, check
your

additional troubleshooting information.
Quick check
Sometimes, the simplest things can cause trouble. To avoid unnecessary
service calls, be sure you check over the basics before you call for support.
If the system does not operate correctly, re-read the instructions for the
procedure(s) you have performed. If an error occurs within an application,
consult the documentation supplied with the software.
This section identifies solutions to common problems.
Looking things over
In any complex system, there is potential for a forgotten connection, a
forgotten switch, or a loose connector. If you try to start up the server and it
does not start up, perform the following checks:
•
Is each power cord connected to the server unit and an AC outlet?
•
Is the AC outlet supplying power?
•
If you use a power strip, is it turned on? Is the circuit breaker set?
•
Does the voltage selection switch on the system power supply
module(s) reflect the proper voltage?
