NOTE: If the power cord is connected to a power controller like a UPS, make
sure that it is powered on.

buttons will be lit. Press the lit POWER button located on the PCI module.

While the logo is displayed on the screen, the server is performing a power-on
self test (POST). For details, see "Check by POST" described later in this
manual. Upon the completion of POST, Windows 2000 Advanced Server loads.
NOTE: If the server finds errors during POST, it will interrupt
POST and display the error message.
