Chapter 2 Installing The System
4. Plug the female end of each AC power cord into each input receptacle
on the back of the chassis (your server may be configured with one, two,
or three power supplies).
5. Plug the male end of the cord into a grounded, three-pronged power
outlet. (Repeat for each power supply in the server.)
6. If the server doesn’t come on when you plug it into the AC outlet, press
the power button (Figure 2-2).
7. Verify that the power-on light on the front panel is lit. After a few
seconds POST begins. See “Power-on Self-Test.”

Power-on Self-Test
Each time you turn on the server, the power LED on the front panel turns
on and the power-on self-test (POST) starts running. It checks the system
board, processor, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.
During the memory test, the POST displays the amount of memory that it is
able to access and test. Depending on the amount of memory installed on
the memory module, it may take several minutes to complete the memory
test.
