Chapter 6. Solving problems Use these instructions to resolve any problems you may encounter while installing the blade server. If you install the blade server in the BladeCenter unit and the blade server does not start, perform the following actions: v Make sure that the BladeCenter unit is correctly connected to a power source. v Reseat the blade server in the BladeCenter unit (see "Installing the blade server in a BladeCenter unit" on page 31). v If the power-on LED is flashing slowly, turn on the blade server (see "Turning on the blade server" on page 13). v If you have just added a new optional device or component, make sure that it is correctly installed and compatible with the blade server and its components. If the device or component is not compatible, remove it from the blade server, reinstall the blade server in the BladeCenter unit, and then restart the blade server. If the blade server does not start after you have performed the preceding actions, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide for your blade server on the IBM Documentation CD.
