Power ON
To power on NEC Express5800/ft series, press the POWER switch located on the front panel.
Follow the steps below to turn on the power. (A rack-mount model is shown here for convenience of
explanation. However, the steps are the same for a tower model except that the modules are
mounted vertically.)
1. Power on the display unit and other peripheral devices connected to the server.
TIPS:
If the power cord is connected to a power controller like a UPS, make sure that it
is powered on.
When NEC Express5800/ft series is powered on, BMCs between the two PCI
modules are synchronized. (The BMC Status LED on secondary module blinks.)
See Chapter 2 “LEDs” for details of the BMC Status LED.
2. Detach the front bezel (or open it in the case of a tower model).
3. Confirm that the BMC Status LED on both PCI modules are off and press the POWER
switch which illuminates green and located on the front panel.
After a while, the "NEC" logo will appear on the screen.
IMPORTANT:
Do not turn off the power before the "NEC" logo appears.
When powering on, make sure that the BMC Status LED on the both PCI
modules are off and then press the power switch.
While the "NEC" logo is displayed on the screen, NEC Express5800/ft series is
performing a power-on self test (POST) to check itself. For details, see "POST Check"
described later in this chapter. Upon the completion of POST, the OS will start.
TIPS: If the server finds errors during POST, it will interrupt POST and display the
error message. See Chapter 7.
