Chapter 1 Setting Up the Server Hardware 15
Powering On and Powering Off the
Server
You have to apply only standby power to the server at this point so that you can
perform initial configuration o f the service processor. Procedures for powering on to
main power mode and for shutting down from main power mode are also included
in this section.
To Apply Standby Power for Initial Service
Processor Configuration
Use this procedure to apply standby power to the service processor (SP) before
initial configuration.
Caution – Do not operate the server without all fans, component heatsinks, air
baffles, and the cover installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if
operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.
1. Connect grounded AC power cords to the AC power connectors on the back panel
of the server and to grounded AC power outlets.
In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED on the front panel flashes, indicating
that the SP is working. See
FIGURE 1-13 or FIGURE 1-14 for the LED location.
Note – At this point, standby power is supplied only to the Graphics Redirect and
Service Processor (GRASP) board and power supply fans. You can proceed to
Chapter 2 of this guide to begin initial configuration. Do not apply main power to
the rest of the server until you are ready to install a platform operating system.
2. Continue with initial software setup tasks, as described in Chapter 2 of this guide.
