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?
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 as 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 have been 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) have been 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. Misplaced standoffs
can contact the pins on the bottom of the server board and cause a short.
