Applying Power to the HP Server

Before applying power to the HP Server, verify that the keyboard and mouse are
connected to the proper ports. The server will not boot without these devices.
Turning on the monitor prior to powering on the HP Server allows proper auto-
configuration of the video output as it boots.

Powering-Up the HP Server

To power-up the rx4610, complete the following procedure:
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.
1. Make sure that the monitor, keyboard, and mouse have been connected to
the proper ports on the rear panel of the server.
2. Remove the drive protection card, if present, from the diskette drive.
3. Plug in the power cord for the monitor and turn it on.
4. Plug the female ends of the server AC power cords into the input
receptacle on the back of the chassis.
5. Plug the male ends of the server AC power cords into grounded,
three-pronged AC power outlet.
6. Slide the server into the rack.
7. If the server does not come on when you plug it into the AC outlet, press
the on/off power switch on the front panel.
8. Verify that the power-on light on the front panel is lit. After a few seconds,
the power-on self test (POST) begins.
When you press the power button on the control panel, 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 11,
"Troubleshooting."
