Power-On Procedure

• Before powering on a server, ensure that the PSUs are switched off, all cables are connected correctly, and the power supply voltage meets service requirements.
• During the power-on process, do not remove and insert drives or disconnect and connect network cables or Console port cables.
• If the power supply to a server is disconnected, wait for at least one minute before connecting the power supply again.

The server can be powered on in any of the following ways:

• If PSUs are properly installed but are not yet powered on, power on the PSUs.

  The server will be powered on along with the PSUs.

  By default, System State Upon Power Supply is set to Power On, which allows the server to power on after the PSUs are applied with power. You can change the System State Upon Power Supply on the Power > Power Control page on the iBMC WebUI.

  • Press the power button on the front panel.
