12.3 Minimum startup configuration
If the server does not start up or other problems occur, it may be necessary to
take the system down to its most basic configuration in order to isolate the
defective component.
The minimum startup configuration consists of the following components and
cables:
Ê Shut down the server as described in section "Shutting down the server
node" on page 39.
Ê Take the system down to its minimum startup configuration.
Ê Connect a keyboard, mouse and display to the server.
Ê Switch on the server as described in section "Controls and indicators on the
server node" on page 51.
V CAUTION!
Since the fan module is not included in the minimum startup
configuration, the server must be shut down immediately after the
diagnostic process is complete (POST phase has been passed).
