4-12 ESX Setup

Step 3-B: Validate FC card

When installing or reinstalling ESX to the external storage through the FC card, enable the settings
of the FC card by using the BIOS setup utility. Follow the procedure below to enable the settings.
1. Turn on the display and the peripheral equipment connected to the NEC Express5800/ft
series.
CHECK:
If the power cords are connected to a power controller like a UPS,
make sure that it is powered on.
2. Detach the front bezel.
3. Press the POWER switch that is located on the front side of the server. (The in-built LED
lit on this side.)
IMPORTANT:
Do not turn off the power before the "NEC" logo appears.
After a while, the "NEC" logo will appear on the screen.
While the "NEC" logo is displayed on the screen, NEC Express5800/ft series is performing
the power-on self test (POST) to check itself. For details, see the separate volume of User's
Guide.
CHECK:
If the server finds errors during POST, it will interrupt POST and display the error message.
See the separate volume of User's Guide.
