Starting the 8348-21C system

You can use the power button to start the IBM® Power® System S812LC (8348-21C) system.

About this task

Attention: For safety, airflow purposes and thermal performance, the service access cover must be installed and fully seated before you power on the system.

Procedure

  1. Open the front rack door, if necessary.
  2. Before you press the power button, ensure that the power supplies are connected to the system unit and verify the following items:
    • All system power cables are connected to a power source.
    • The power-on LED, as shown in Figure 1, is flashing. A flashing light indicates standby power to the unit.
  3. Press the power button (A) shown in Figure 1. The power-on light stops flashing and remains on, indicating that the system power is turned on. The system cooling fans operate at a high speed, and after approximately 30 seconds, return to operating speed.
