Checking Specific System Problems

1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals. Disconnect all the power cables from their electrical outlets.

2. If the system is connected to a power distribution unit (PDU), turn the PDU off and then on again.

If the system is not receiving power, plug it into another electrical outlet. If it still is not receiving power, try

another PDU.

3. Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet or PDU.
