Starting the server Note: If your server does not start when you press the power switch, do the following: Make sure that all cables are securely connected to the correct locations. Make sure that the server cover is installed properly (pushed all the way on). If this does not correct the problem, have the system serviced. 6. Check your monitor for POST results. When the test finishes: The screen displays the IBM logo and a number that represents the amount of available server memory. If no operating system is installed, a prompt appears, requesting that you insert a startable CD-ROM or a startable diskette. Refer to your ServerGuide package for information about installing an operating system. If you have set a power-on password, a prompt appears on the screen. If you have set both the power-on and administrator passwords, you can type either password at the password prompt. (See "System Security" on page 43 for instructions on setting and using passwords.) Type your password at the prompt; then, press Enter. Notes: a. If you hear more than one beep, check to see if an error message appears. If an error message appears, or if your screen is blank, see Chapter 5, "Solving problems" on page 157. b. If your server stops running during testing or normal operation, call for service. Describe the problem to the service technician. Chapter 2. Getting started 29
