First steps checklist

AC power available at the wall outlet?

Are the power supplies plugged in? Check the AC cable(s) on the
back of the chassis and at the AC source.

Are all cables correctly connected and secured?

Are the processors fully seated in their sockets on the server
board?

Are all standoffs in the proper location and not touching any
components, causing a potential short?

Are all add-in PCI boards fully seated in their slots on the server
board?

Are all jumper settings on the server board correct?

Are all jumper and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral
devices correct? To check these settings, refer to the
manufacturer’s documentation that comes with them. If
applicable, ensure that there are no conflicts - for example, two
add-in boards sharing the same interrupt.

Are all peripheral devices installed correctly?

If the system has a hard disk drive, is it properly formatted or
configured?

Are all device drivers properly installed?

Are the configuration settings made in Setup correct?

Is the operating system properly loaded? Refer to the operating
system documentation.

Did you press the system power on/off switch on the control panel
to turn the server on (power on light should be lit)?

Is the system power cord properly connected to the system and
plugged into a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V or a NEMA 6-15R
outlet for 200-240 V?

Are all integrated components from the tested components lists?
Check the tested memory, and chassis lists, as well as the supported
hardware and operating system list.
