Power ON from CPU Blade

Press the POWER switch on the panel of the CPU blade (the POWER lamp on the CPU blade lights

green).

Power ON from Network Serial Port

Depending on the BIOS setting of the CPU blade, the CPU blade may be turned on by a packet

received from the network or via the modem connected to the serial port.

This power-on procedure can be specified by setting [Wake On Events] of [System Hardware] in the

BIOS SETUP Utility.

Operation after Power ON

If the CPU blade is connected to a display unit, the NEC logo appears on the screen of the display

unit after power-on.

While the NEC logo appears, the CPU blade runs the self-diagnosis program (POST). See "POST"

described later for details. At the completion of POST, the operating system is booted.

NOTE:

If a fault is found during POST, POST is interrupted and an

error message appears. See Chapter 8.
