Powering On Devices
This section describes the check items of the server before it is powered on and how to power on the server.
Procedure
- Ensure that the power cables and ground wires for all components are tightly connected and in good contact and that the polarities are properly placed.
- Ensure that the input power supply for the power distribution box (PDB) is off. Use a multimeter to test the resistance between the power outputs of the PDB and between the BGND and PGND. It is required that short circuit not occur between power outputs or between the BGND and PGND.
- Switch on the power supply for the rack.
- Switch on the circuit breakers of PDBs for the rack. The power supply for equipment in the rack is available.
- Press the power button on the server panel to power on the server.
