Server Options - 3518 Power-on Sequences

Applicable to: World-Wide

Power-on Sequence:
Note:
The expansion enclosure can be powered on without connecting it to a server. However, the expansion enclosure must be connected to a server before the drives installed in the enclosure can be used.

To power-on the expansion enclosure, do the following.
1. Locate the keys; then unlock and open the door on the front of the expansion enclosure.
2. If the server is powered-on, power it off.
3. Lift the transparent Power Enable Switch cover on the front panel and press the Power Enable Switch; the Power OK indicator will illuminate.
4. Then, press the Power On/Off switch (located just above the Power Enable Switch). The information panel will display IBM 3518.
5. Power-on the server. The power-on self-test (POST) begins.
6. Check the monitor connected to the server. The screen displays the IBM logo and a number that represents the amount of available server memory. The server beeps once to indicate that it is working properly.

Notes:
1. If you hear more than one beep or no beep, check the monitor and the information panel.
2. If an error message appears on the information panel or the expansion enclosure stops running during testing or normal operation, see 'Symptom-to-FRU Index—.
3. If an error message appears on the monitor screen, the monitor screen is blank, or the server stops during normal operation, refer to the diagnostic information for the server.
