outlet.
■
The AC outlet is supplying power.
■
If a power strip is used, it is turned on, and the circuit breaker is set.
■
The voltage selection switch on the system power supply reflects the
proper voltage.
Verifying your configuration

Troubleshooting guidelines
As you troubleshoot your system, keep the following guidelines in mind:
■
Never remove the chassis cover while the server is turned on.
■
Do not attempt to open the monitor. Even if the power is disconnected,
stored energy in the monitor components can inflict a painful or harmful
shock.
■
If a peripheral does not work, make sure that all connections are secure.
■
If you see an error message on the screen, write it down, word for word.
You may be asked about it when calling Technical Support.
■
Only qualified personnel should open the system for maintenance.
If you are qualified to maintain the system yourself, make sure you are
properly grounded before opening the system chassis. See
“

on page 22 for more information on preventing
electrostatic damage to the system.
