Press and hold the power button for less than 4 seconds. If the hard drive LED turns green, the power button is working correctly. Try the following: 1. Check that the voltage selector (some models), located on the rear of the power supply, is set to the appropriate voltage. Proper voltage setting depends on your region. 2. Replace the system board. OR Press and hold the power button for less than 4 seconds. If the hard drive LED does not turn on green then: 1. Check that the unit is plugged into a working AC outlet. 2. Open hood and check that the power button harness is properly connected to the system board. 3. Check that both power supply cables are properly connected to the system board. 4. Check to see if the 5V_aux light on the system board is turned on. If it is turned on, then replace the power button harness. If the problem persists, replace the system board. 5. If the 5V_aux light on the system board is not turned on, remove the expansion cards one at a time until the 5V_aux light on the system board turns on. It the problem persists, replace the power supply. 58 Appendix A POST Error Messages ENWW

until problem is solved.
9
System powers on but is
unable to boot.
1.
Check that the voltage selector, located on
the rear of the power supply (some models),

10
Bad option card.
1.
Check each option card by removing the card
(one at a time if multiple cards), then power
on the system to see if fault goes away.
2.
Once a bad card is identified, remove and
replace the bad option card.
3.
Replace the system board.
System does not power on and
LEDs are not flashing.
None
System unable to power
on.
Press and hold the power button for less than 4
seconds. If the hard drive LED turns green, the
power button is working correctly. Try the
following:
1.
Check that the voltage selector (some
models), located on the rear of the power
supply, is set to the appropriate voltage.
Proper voltage setting depends on your

harness is properly connected to the system
board.
3.
Check that both power supply cables are
properly connected to the system board.
4.
Check to see if the 5V_aux light on the
system board is turned on. If it is turned on,
then replace the power button harness. If the
problem persists, replace the system board.
5.
