Power Problems

4. Remove the HP Server form any UPS or PDU and connect the HP Server directly to a power source.

5. Verify the AC power source is good:

are the only devices on it.

c. Reset the circuit breaker after reconfiguring the devices if needed.

b. With the power cord/s disconnected, remove the HP Server cover.

c. Remove all the accessory boards, including any hard disk drive controller board or video board.
