  If the power light on your Intel Server Board is not lighting, try the following: * Ensure the AC power cord is securely plugged into the power supply. * Check if the system boots after removing all add-in cards. If it does, add the cards back one at a time, rebooting after each, to find the problem card. * Verify the memory FBDIMMs and processors meet system requirements and are correctly installed. Try removing and reseating them. * Confirm chassis standoffs are correctly placed to avoid shorts. For DC powered systems, ensure all DC cables are connected. * Also, consider whether the power LED might be defective or the cable from the control panel to the server board might be loose. * Did you press the power-on button?

  If you cannot connect to a server, verify the following: * The network cable is securely attached to the correct connector on the system back panel. Try a different network cable. * You are using the correct and current drivers, and that the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound. * The hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network controller. * The correct networking software is installed. * If directly connecting two servers (without a hub), use a crossover cable. * Check the network controller LEDs next to the NIC connectors.

  If the system cooling fans on your Intel Server Board are not rotating properly, consider the following: * If the power-on light is not lit, refer to the troubleshooting steps for 'Power Light Does Not Light'. * Check if the system has LED lights for the fans, and if any of these LEDs are lit. * Also, check if any other control panel LEDs are lit. * Use the server management subsystem to check the fan status and see if any fan motors have stopped. * Determine if the fans have sped up due to overheating or a fan failure. * Ensure the fan power connectors, the cable from the control panel board, and the power supply cables are properly connected to the server board. * Inspect for shorted wires caused by pinched cables or power connector plugs forced into sockets the wrong way.
