When the Server Blade Does Not Start
This section provides systematic instructions on what to try and where to go for help
for the most common problems encountered during initial POST. The server blade
must first complete this test each time you power up, before it can load the operating
system and start running software applications.
IMPORTANT:
Always be sure that you have adequate system power applied to all the rack
components before troubleshooting the server blade. You may need to add more hot-plug
power supplies if you are installing additional server blades. If you have a power problem, refer
to the
ProLiant BL p-Class System Setup and Installation Guide
