Progress indicators, also referred to as checkpoints, are visible on the operator panel display. If you just completed installing, or are not going to install an I/O drawer, run system verification. Go to Step 19 Run System Verification. If you are installing an I/O drawer, go to Cabling the 7028 Model 6C4 to a 7311 Model D20 I/O Drawer, located in the eserver pseries 630 Model 6C4 and Model 6E4 Installation Guide, order number SA R E010 Illustration Key 1 Power-On Button 2 Power LED 3 Operator Panel Display Starting your system with an HMC attached After the required cables are installed and the power cables are connected, the HMC user interface provides a power-on function to turn on the power to the system. The power-on button on the operator panel can be pushed to initialize the system, but the preferred method is to use the HMC if you are starting logical partitions. Progress indicators, also referred to as checkpoints, are visible on the operator panel display as the system power is turned on. The power LED on the base system stops blinking and stays on, indicating that the system power is on. The base system and I/O subsystems are powered on through the system power control network (SPCN). When power is applied, the power LEDs on the base system go from blinking to continuous, and the power LEDs on the I/O subsystems come on and stay on. This situation indicates that power levels are satisfactory in the subsystems.
