Action:
- Press the Power On/Standby button to be sure it is on. If the server has a Power On/Standby button that returns to its original position after being pressed, be sure you press the switch firmly. For more information about system power LED status, see "System Power LED definitions."
- Plug another device into the grounded power outlet to be sure the outlet works. Also, be sure the power source meets applicable standards.
- Replace the power cord with a known functional power cord to be sure it is not faulty.
- Replace the power strip with a known functional power strip to be sure it is not faulty.
- Have a qualified electrician check the line voltage to be sure it meets the required specifications.
- Be sure the proper circuit breaker is in the On position.
- If Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping or Enclosure Power Limit is enabled on supported servers, be sure there is sufficient power allocation to support the server. For more information, see the following documents:
- HPE Power Capping and HPE Dynamic Power Capping for ProLiant servers technology brief
- HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
