Turning on the server

About this task

After the server is installed in the rack, turn on the server to make sure that it powers up properly. Once you determine that it powers up properly, turn it off before you start any software installation procedure.

Important

You must wait for the power-on LED to blink slowly (one flash per second) before pressing the power button. If you press the power button while the power-on LED is blinking quickly (three flashes per second), the server will not turn on.

Procedure

Plug one end of the power cord into the server power supply and the other end into a UPS or nonswitched outlet.
Approximately 5 seconds after the server is connected to power, one or more fans might start running to provide cooling, and the power-on LED will blink quickly (three flashes per second). Approximately 3 minutes after the server is connected to power, the power-on LED will blink slowly (one flash per second), and one or more fans might start running.
Once the power-on LED begins to blink slowly, press the power button on the front of the server.
The power-on LED will stop blinking and stay lit. After you press the power button, the server takes approximately 5 minutes to initialize.

Important
Avaya recommends that users not change the default uEFI/BIOS settings.
