2-18 Setting Up the System
After a few seconds your system begins the internal Power-On Self Tests
(POST). POST automatically checks the system CPU modules, system PCI
modules, ECC memory modules, keyboard, mouse, and most installed
peripheral devices. POST also displays the start messages of the BIOS setup
utility during execution.
The POST check results should be checked in the following cases:
!
When the server is being used for the first time.
!
When the server appears to fail.
!
When the server beeps many times between power-on and OS start-up.
!
When an error message appears on the display unit.
Note:
For error messages that appear on the display
unit, refer to subsection POST Error Codes and Messages in
Chapter 5 of this Guide.
!
CAUTION
Always allow POST to complete before powering down your
system.
If you have problems powering on your system, refer to Problem Solving in
Chapter 5 of this User’s Guide.
After you have successfully powered on your system, refer to the preloaded
system Software Notes document shipped with your system
Powering Off the Server System
When server system power is on, pressing the push-button power on/off switch
on the front panel of the server turns the power off.
To turn the server system's power off:
1. Shutdown the operating system (OS).
Note:
Avoid turning off system power before the OS has
shut down completely.
2. If running W2KAS, the system should automatically power off. If not, then
press the power button (see Figure 2-11).
The power-on LED goes out.
Note:
Check to see that no error messages are
displayed on the LCD panel during power-off.
The system power is off, but standby power remains on.
