Power Problems
1. Verify the HP Server’s power cord is plugged in to a known good power source.

power?
3. Check the power supply LEDs on the power supply and verify that it is lit a steady green.
4. Remove the HP Server form any UPS or PDU and connect the HP Server directly to a power source.
5. Verify the AC power source is good:
a. Verify the circuit breaker for the AC power outlet.
b. If the breaker was off, verify all devices connected to the HP Server share the same circuit breaker and
are the only devices on it.
c. Reset the circuit breaker after reconfiguring the devices if needed.
d. Verify the AC power outlet is not faulty by plugging in a known good device.
e. Verify the DC power supply cable connected to the system board.
6. If the fans (system, power supply, and processor heat sink) are not audible and the above steps are verified:
a. Disconnect the power cord/s for five minutes in order to reset the power supply’s circuitry.
b. With the power cord/s disconnected, remove the HP Server cover.
c. Remove all the accessory boards, including any hard disk drive controller board or video board.
Disconnect all mass storage power cords and cables.
d. Plug the power cord/s back in and turn on the HP Server.
e. If power is still not getting to the HP Server, the power supply may be faulty.
Contact the HP Customer Support Center for further assistance before replacing any parts.

Management Interface) standard, which is a key component of a NOS's directed power
management. The supported features are only available when an ACPI-compliant NOS is
installed on the Server.
