Need Help?
If you don’t see anything on your screen or you think your server did not start up properly,
check these items:
m Is the server plugged into a power source? If it is plugged into a power strip, is the power
strip turned on?
m Are the keyboard and display cables connected correctly?
m Is the power button lit on the front panel of the server and on the display? If not, the
server or display isn’t receiving power.
m Is the display turned on? Are the brightness and contrast controls on the display adjusted
correctly? If your display has brightness and contrast controls, adjust them.
m Restart your server. Press the server power button for approximately 5 seconds until the
server turns off. Press it again to turn the server on.
m If you see a blinking question mark on the screen or hear a series of beeps when you turn
on the server, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” on page 55.
