System Boots when Installing PCI Card
System Server Management features require full-time “standby” power. This means some parts of the system have power
going to them whenever the power cord is plugged in, even if you turned off the system power with the power button on the
front panel. If you install a PCI card with the AC power cord plugged in, a signal may be sent to command the system to boot.
Before installing a PCI card, you must always:
Turn off the server power by using the power button on the front of the system.
Unplug the AC power cord(s) from the server.
Problems with Newly Installed Application Software
Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the software—not the server hardware.
Faulty equipment is unlikely, especially if other software runs correctly.
Check the following:
1. Make sure the system meets the minimum hardware requirements for the software. See the software documentation.
2. Make sure the software is properly installed and configured for the system. See the software documentation.
3. Use only an authorized copy. Unauthorized copies often do not work.
4. If you are running the software from a diskette, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, try a different diskette.
5. Make sure the correct device drivers are installed.
If the problems persist, contact the software vendor’s customer service representative.
