Hardware failure is a less frequent cause. Checklist Is AC power available at the wall outlet? Are the power supplies plugged in? Check the AC cable on the back of the chassis and at the AC source. Are all cables correctly connected and secured? Are the processors fully seated in their sockets on the server board? Are all standoffs in the proper location and not touching any through hole components, causing a potential short? Are all add-in PCI boards fully seated in their slots on the server board? Are all jumper settings on the server board correct? Are all jumper and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral devices correct?
