After a few seconds your system begins the internal Power-On Self Test (POST). POST automatically checks the
system board, CPU module, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.
IMPORTANT:
 Always allow POST to complete before powering down your system.
 The server management logic on your system board monitors and logs system voltage changes.
When powering down your system you may experience a 30-second delay from the time you
press the push-button power on/off switch on the front panel and your system powering down.
This is normal system operation and is required by the server management logic.
If you have problems powering on your system, see Chapter 8.
After you have successfully powered on your system, insert the ExpressBuilder DVD into the optical disk drive, reboot the
system and follow the screen prompts to run ExpressBuilder.
