Power Light Does Not Light
Check the following:
❑ Are all the power supplies plugged in? Is the power turned on to the power strip or
outlet? Do you have a blown fuse or breaker?
❑ Is the system operating normally? If so, the power LED is probably defective or the
cable from the front panel to the baseboard is loose.
❑ Are there other problems with the system? If so, check the items listed under
“System Cooling Fans Do Not Rotate Properly.”
If all items are correct and problems persist, contact your service representative or
authorized dealer for assistance.
