If the System Will Not Power On

Perform the following steps:
1. Verify that all cables and power cords are firmly plugged into their proper
receptacles.
2. Verify that all parts of the system are turned on and properly adjusted.
3. If the server is plugged into a switched multiple-outlet box, verify that the
switch on the outlet box is turned on.
4. Plug a different electrical device (such as a printer) into the power outlet
and turn it on. If it does not function, there is a problem with the electrical
supply.

If you hear a series of beeps when you turn on the NetServer, this

If the system fails the Power-On Self Test (POST) and an error message
displays on the screen, see the section "Error Messages." If the suggested
solutions do not solve your problem, contact HP or your reseller.

If the System Passes the POST But Will Not Function

If an error message displays on the screen, read the error message text for actions
to take. If the actions do not solve your problem, contact your reseller.
If there is no error message, perform the following steps:
1. Check to ensure that the HP NetServer is configured correctly in the EISA
Configuration Utility.
2. If the server still does not work, turn it off and remove all external
peripherals, except the monitor and keyboard. Test to see if the server
now works.
