Understanding the power-on self-test
When you turn on your server, the power-on self-test (POST) routine checks
the server memory and components. If POST finds any problems, the server
displays error messages. Write down any error messages that you see, then see
“Error messages” on page 100 and “Beep codes” on page 103 for
troubleshooting information.
Turning off your server
Every time you turn off your server, first shut down the operating system. You
may lose data if you do not follow the correct procedure.
To turn off the server:
1
See the operating system’s documentation or online help for instructions
on shutting down the operating system. Whenever possible, you should
use the operating system’s shut down procedure instead of pressing the
power button.
2
If your server did not turn off automatically, press the power button.
- OR -
Press the reset button to reset the server.
Warning The power button on the server does not turn off server
AC power. To remove AC power from the server, you must
unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet or power
source. The power cord is considered the disconnect
device to the main (AC) power.
