• 3-1. Starting the Server
Turn ON the server by pushing the power button. The power button will snap
back when released because ATX power systems have an electrical ON/OFF
switch unlike AT systems which require a permanent ON or OFF position. If the
Power On LED does not light, make sure the power cord is connected to the
system unit and to a working grounded outlet.

to unplug the electrical cord from the outlet.

There are two LEDs on the top left-hand corner of the front panel. The upper
one is the power LED and the lower one is the hard drive access LED. When

When installing Windows NT 4.0, use the Windows NT installa-
tion disks. Installing from the CD will require you to pre-install
SCSI drivers by pressing F6 before setup begins. You may need
device drivers on a floppy disk in order to install devices during
the Windows NT 4.0 setup. To use the onboard SCSI, you will
need to copy Adaptec’s SCSI driver (from the provided support
CD) onto a floppy disk (“Winnt”, “Disk1”, “Txtsetup.oem”).
