Connecting and Starting Up

Startup Steps

1. While the power is off, attach your network cable to the RJ-45

connector on the rear of the server. (See the rear view

illustrated on page 2-7.)

Note ❏

If you have attached an external tape drive, now install its

power cord and switch on its power.

2. Attach the two power cords to the rear of the server and to power

outlets (preferably to separate power circuits). (See the rear view

illustrated on page 2-7.)

3. On the front of the server, switch on power. (See the front view

illustrated on page 2-7.)

4. Verify that:

• The main power light (LED) above the power switch is on

and the power display (2-character LED) displays

• Drive power and drive activity lights (LEDs) blink to

indicate self-tests. The drive power light on each disk drive

module stays green.

• The control panel (LCD) displays self-testing and loading

messages.

If you see any of the following exceptions to the verification

checks listed above, refer to chapter 11, “Resolving Problems

with Your Server”:

• Lights described above fail to go on.

• Power display shows

• Control panel displays

anywhere in the text.

• Control panel display remains unchanged for more than

ten seconds.

Note ❏

When you start up the server, its behavior depends on whether

you are installing it for the first time or have already installed

it before. The first time, it will behave as described in step 5

below; proceed with this procedure. If the behavior is different,

it has probably been started before; go to “Starting Up the

Server” on page 6-1 instead.
