actions.

Check the keyboard connection. Ensure that the keyboard is properly connected to
the system unit. Check the AC power cord. Ensure that the AC power cord is
properly connected to the system unit and to the wall receptacle. Verify that the wall

or the system unit is unable to accept the keyboard power-on signal. Power off the
system unit and press the keyboard power-on switch again. If the system unit
powers on, no further action is required. If the system unit does not power on, the
CPU module may not be properly seated. Inspect the CPU module for proper
seating. If the system unit powers on, no further action is required. If the system unit
does not power on, the keyboard may be defective.Connect a spare Sun Type-5
keyboard to the system unit and press the power-on key.
If the wall receptacle AC power has been verified, the CPU module is properly
seated, and a spare Sun Type-5 keyboard has been connected to the system unit and
the power-on key has been pressed but the system unit does not power up, the
system unit power supply may be defective. See Section 4.4, “Power Supply Test” on
page 4-5.
