I've got two power cables connected (PS0 and PS1). There are two small fans in the front of the cabinet, also labeled PS0 and PS1. PS2 has no fan installed in the front. There is a single green blinking light.
I've got a working VT220 connected to the "console" dongle, and I can get into the GSP using Ctrl-B.
At the prompt I type: PC
Cannot turn system ON because power switch is OFF
There's no faceplate on this box at the moment. When I press the power button briefly, the fans all kick on - they run for 6 seconds maybe, then shut down again.
Holding the power button in, the fans run up, then slow down - they stay on as long as I'm holding the button. Let go, and they power off.
While holding the power on, if I then type the PC command, it says:
System power ON, power switch ON
Would you like to turn off power?
I answer no.
Still, when I let go of the button, it shuts down again.
Is it because I have the faceplate removed that I am having this trouble, or is the power switch possibly bad, or is there another possibility?
Many thanks,
Fred

SolutionThe front cover isn't a problem, just use a screwdriver or pen to switch on or off.
Anything from "PS" command while system is on?
Any related logs in GSP logs?
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: rp5450 / won't start up
Server is not racked yet; sitting on a desk, temporarily.
While holding the power button on, there is an amber flashing light, it's the Attention light.
I can get into SL alright, there are errors there about the system name being unitialized, etc. and this:
SOURCE: 6 = platform
SOURCE DETAIL: 3 = cabinet fan SOURCE ID: 4
PROBLEM DETAIL: 5 = functioning

Re: rp5450 / won't start up
Check them - any amber LEDs on or not (while power is on)?
Hope this helps!

Re: rp5450 / won't start up
Can anyone tell me if the power button should physically 'click' when pressed on/ pressed off? This one does not.

Press the button and perform a "PS", press it again and repeat the "PS".
Does it show "Power Switch: ON"???

Re: rp5450 / won't start up
Actually I just noticed that the Run light blinks green when the button is held in long enough.
At the rear, the two NIC interfaces...the one with the console dongle has a green light. The other has a green and amber, but there's nothing connected to it.
While looking at this, I discovered that if I hold the button in long enough, it seems to start to post - I see processor tests, etc, scrolling by on the console.
Is this beginning to look like a simple bad power switch?
