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.
