Powering-Up the Server
NOTE
Turn on power to the monitor connected to the HP Server
before you power-on the Server. This allows proper
auto-configuration of video output of the Server as it boots.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the power supply, check the Input
Voltage selector switch before connecting the Server and its
power cord to a voltage source.
1. Ensure the Input Voltage selector switch is set for the correct input voltage,
before connecting the power cord to a voltage source. See Figure 2-4.
(Switch shown in
115 volts position.)

2. Ensure the HP Server's power cord is connected to the power source. See
Figure 2-4.
3. Press the Power button on the lower front bezel. See Figure 2-1.
When you press the power button on the front bezel, the Server powers up and
loads the operating system. The system runs a set of Power On Self Tests
(POST) during this process. For details refer to Chapter 8, "Configuring the
HP Server" and Chapter 9, "Troubleshooting."
