4. Configuration Instructions
4.1 Initial Configuration
4.1.1 Power on and start
Before powering on, it is necessary to ensure that all configurations of the server are installed in accordance with the corresponding specifications and standards, and keep the server turned off but not unplugged from the power supply. And all cables are connected properly, and the power supply voltage is consistent with that of the device.
During the power-on process, please do not plug in hard drives, power modules, network cables or other external devices and cables.
If the server has just been unplugged from the power supply, please wait for 1 minute before turning on the power.
Server power-on power status: The power is on, but the server is not booting up. The power indicator light is yellow. Power on, the server starts up, and the power indicator light is green.
How to power on the server: The server’s default power-on policy is “Power-On Boot,” which means the server will automatically power on when it receives power. Users can modify this setting in the BIOS Setup interface.
Press the <DEL> or <ESC> key on the keyboard during the boot process to enter the BIOS Setup interface, and find the following interface:

4.1.4 Configure BMC
When the server is powered on, make sure that the BMC dedicated management network port cable is properly connected. Use another device, make sure it is in the same LAN as the BMC management network, and enter the BMC IP address on the web page. Check the BMC IP address as follows:
After the server is powered on, turn it on. Pay attention to the POST process when starting the server. In the lower left corner of the logo screen, the IP
36
address is displayed. After the server powers on, pay attention to the POST process. Press the
<DEL> or <ESC> key on the keyboard to enter the BIOS Setup interface. Switch to the following screen:
Figure 4-4 Configure IPV4 support Configuration Address source Configure the BMC IP address allocation mode, the menu options are:
Unspecified: Do not change BMC parameters Static: BIOS static IP setting DynamicBmcDhcp: BMC runs DHCP to dynamically assign IP DynamicBmcNonDhcp: BMC runs the Non-DHCP protocol to dynamically assign IP Default: Unspecified When changing from “Unspecified” to other parameters, saving and rebooting will result in the options reverting to the “Unspecified” value. There is no need to configure the BMC IP during every startup process. When the “Configuration Address Source” option is set to “Unspecified,” it will display the network parameters (IPv4) for the system’s shared Ethernet port. The displayed information includes the current IP configuration method, BMC IP, subnet mask, MAC address, router IP, and router MAC. BMC Dedicated Management Channel

5. Appendix
(Common fault diagnosis)
No display after power on Make sure the monitor cable is properly connected and the power indicator on
the monitor lights up when the monitor is powered on. Ensure the monitor is connected to the server. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, try replacing the monitor with a
known working one to confirm if the original monitor is faulty. If the issue persists, please contact Gooxi’s customer service department for
resolution.
Front Panel Indicator Lights Alarm Refer to the instructions in the manual to determine the specific alarm
information indicated by the front panel lights and buttons. For power failure indicator lights alarm, check if the power module indicator
lights on the rear window of the server are abnormal. If the power module indicator lights are normal, please log in to the BMC web interface to check the BMC logs for any alarms. If there are alarms, please record the specific alarm information and contact Gooxi’s customer service department for resolution. If the power module indicator lights are not normal, please ensure that the server, power module, and power cords are functioning correctly.
For system alarm indicator lights, first check the external environment. For other indicator light alarms, please contact Gooxi’s customer service department for resolution.
Abnormal Hard Drive Indicator Lights Ensure the hard drives are properly installed. Refer to the instructions in the manual to determine the specific alarm
information indicated by the rear panel lights and buttons. Confirm if the RAID card is configured correctly. Check for any drive dropouts during OS installation. If this occurs, please
contact Gooxi’s customer service department for resolution.
Unable to Use RAID Card Ensure the RAID card is properly installed.
41
Try reseating the RAID card and PCIe adapter to confirm if they are functioning correctly.
If replacing the known working RAID card doesn’t resolve the issue, please restore to factory settings and update the BIOS version. If the problem persists contact Gooxi’s customer service department for further assistance and resolution. IPMI Connection Failure
Confirm if the BMC function is correctly enabled in the BIOS. Check if the switch and network cables are functioning properly. If the regular IPMI connection is not effective, check the network environment. Set static or dynamic IP and ensure ping connectivity. If the web interface does not open, try using a newer version of Internet Explorer. If the problem is not resolved, please contact Gooxi’s customer service department for further assistance and resolution. Operating this device in a residential environment may cause radio interference.

6. Scrap Recycling
For environmental protection and resource reuse, we earnestly ask you to properly handle discarded server products.
Before discarding the server, we recommend that you completely demagnetize the storage media, clear data, and physically destroy them to ensure that your personal data is not leaked.
In order to recycle and reuse, please hand over the discarded server to local recycling companies for processing. This will ensure that electronic waste is properly handled and can be put back into use after environmental treatment.
