Starting your server
www.gateway.com
If nothing happens when you press the power button:
■ Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely and that your
UPS (if you are using one) is plugged in and turned on.
■ Make sure that the monitor is connected to the server, plugged into
the power outlet or UPS, and turned on. You may also need to adjust
the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls.
2 The first time you turn on the server, any pre-installed operating system
may begin asking you for configuration settings. See your operating
system’s documentation for instructions on configuring advanced settings
for your specific network.
Understanding the power-on self-test
When you turn on your server, the power-on self-test (POST) routine checks
the server memory and components. If POST finds any problems, the server
displays error messages. Write down any error messages that you see, then see
“Error messages” on page 68 and “Beep codes” on page 71 for troubleshooting
information.
