If nothing happens when you press the power button:
■
Make sure that the power cable is plugged in securely and that your surge protector
(if you are using one) is plugged in and turned on.
■
Make sure that the monitor is connected to the server, plugged into the power
outlet or surge protector, and turned on. You may also need to adjust the monitor’s
brightness and contrast controls.
■
Wait 5-10 seconds after plugging the power cord into the server before pressing
the power button. This allows the internal monitoring and control hardware to
initialize.
■
If you cannot find the cause of the power loss, contact Gateway Customer Care.
