Enabling Automatic Power-Up
Before you begin:
Read “Safety Considerations” on page 4-2 and “Handling Static Sensitive
Devices” on page 4-3.
Remove the system unit cover (see “Removing the Cover” on page 4-4).
Your system unit can be set to automatically turn on as soon as AC power is
applied. This allows unattended restart after AC power has been interrupted by a
power outage, for example.
When the automatic power-up capability is enabled, the system unit turns on as soon
as AC power is applied, even if the system was not turned on before the interruption.
The factory setting for this capability is automatic power-up disabled.
Note: If the power-on password is set, then the system unit still turns on but does
not boot unless the Remote Mode is enabled. To set the power-on
password and Remote Mode, see Chapter 3, “System Management
Services” on page 3-1.
To enable the automatic power-up feature, do the following:
1. Remove the disk drive bracket assembly from the system unit and carefully place
it on top of the power supply.
Note: Any adapters installed in slot 5 may have to be temporarily removed in
order to remove the disk drive bracket. Refer to “Removing Adapters” on
page 4-80 for adapter removal instructions.
