Power Light Does Not Light Check the following: • Did you press the power-on button? • Is the system operating normally? If so, the power LED might be defective or the cable from the front panel to the server board might be loose. • Have you securely plugged the server AC power cord into the power supply? • Is the power supply correctly set to 110 V or 235 V, depending on your power output? • Will other items plugged into the same power outlet function correctly? • Some ATX power supplies have a power switch on the back of the power supply next to the fan. If your system has one, is it turned on? • Remove all add-in cares and see if the system boots. If successful, add the cards back in one at a time with a reboot between each addition. • Make sure the memory DIMMs comply with the system requirements. • Make sure the memory DIMMs are populated according to the system requirements. • Remove the memory DIMMs and re-seat them. • Make sure the processor(s) comply with the system requirements. • Make sure the processor(s) are populated according to the system requirements. • Remove the processor(s) and re-seat them. • Make sure the chassis standoffs are installed only below mounting holes.
