If nothing happens when you press the power button:
■ Make sure that the power cable(s) 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.
■ If you cannot find the cause of the power loss, contact Gateway
Customer Care. For more information, see
“Getting Help” on
page 10 .
3 The first time you turn on the server, any pre-installed operating system
may begin asking you for configuration settings. See your operating
system’s documentation for instructions on configuring advanced settings
for your specific network.
Understanding the power-on self-test
When you turn on your server, the power-on self-test (POST) routine checks the
server memory and components. If POST finds any problems, the server displays
error messages. Write down any error messages that you see, then see
“Error
messages” on page 74 and “Beep codes” on page 80 for troubleshooting
information.
Turning off your server
Every time you turn off your server, first shut down the operating system. You
may lose data if you do not follow the correct procedure.
To turn off the server:
Caution
The power button on the server does not
turn off server AC power. To remove
AC power from the server, you must
unplug the AC power cords from the wall
outlet or power source. The power cords
are considered the disconnect device to
the main (AC) power.
1 See the operating system’s documentation or online help for instructions
on shutting down the operating system. Whenever possible, you should
use the operating system’s shut down procedure instead of pressing the
power button.
2 If your server did not turn off automatically, press the power button.
