IMPORTANT

Be sure at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so

that you can unplug the server when you need to.

When your server is off, it remains in a “standby” state, drawing a small
amount of electrical current. This readies the server for a quick startup. If you
ever need to disconnect power completely, unplug the server.

Turning the server on

To turn on the server for the first time, follow these steps.

IMPORTANT

If you have an AudioVision monitor, turn on your server before

turning on the monitor (complete steps 2 and 3 first in the following procedure).

1

Turn on your monitor.

See the information that came with your monitor for the location of the power
switch. On Apple monitors, the power switch has this icon:

I.

2

Turn on all external devices.

External devices may include hard disk drives or CD-ROM drives. The server
checks only once—at startup—for the presence of external devices, so you
need to turn on the devices before you turn on the server.

3

Turn on the server by pressing the power switch on the front panel.

The switch is marked with the

I icon.

You hear a tone from the server as it starts up.

4

Check to see what’s on your screen, then click the OK button to dismiss the dialog box.

m If you see a system message on the desktop, as shown in the following

figure, your system software is already set up correctly.
