Problems With Initial System Startup
Problems that occur at initial system startup are usually caused by incorrect
installation or configuration. Hardware failure is a less frequent cause.

Checklist
■
Are all cables correctly connected and secured?
■
Is the power cord properly inserted and fully seated?
■
Are there any Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) beep codes? You may
have to listen carefully two or three times to hear them. See “POST Error Beep
Codes” on page 2-27 for beep code details.
■
Is the BMC running? Try pressing the ID button on the front panel. If the blue ID
LED fails to illuminate, the BMC is not responding.
■
Are the cables going to the front panel board installed and seated properly (check
the front panel cable, the USB cable, and the 100-pin flex cable).
■
Are the processors fully seated in their sockets on the server board?
■
Are all add-in PCI boards fully seated in their slots on the server board?
■
Are all jumper and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral devices
correct? To check these settings, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation that
comes with them. If applicable, ensure that there are no conflicts—for example,
two add-in boards sharing the same interrupt.
■
Are all DIMMs installed correctly?
■
Are all peripheral devices installed correctly?
■
If the system has a hard disk drive, is it properly formatted or configured?
■
Are all device drivers properly installed?
■
Are the configuration settings made in BIOS Setup correct?
■
Did you press the system power on/off switch on the front panel to turn the
server on (power on light should be lit)?
■
Is the system power cord properly connected to the system and plugged into a
NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V or a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240V?
■
Is AC power available at the wall outlet?
■
Are there any POST LEDs illuminated? If so check “Power-On Self-Test (POST)”
on page 2-7.
