You checked if everything was plugged in and checked all cables connecting the computer with the machinery, everything seems to be fine. Either this computer is damaged or there is no power. You need to find a power room first and see if there is something wrong with it.
You start searching through the room in hopes of finding a crowbar or some other useful tools. There are 3 matches lying next to one of these chambers. If you ever stumble upon a crowbar, it will be the first thing you will grab for sure.
"It's time to leave". You pull the lever and after a second or two, metal door that was blocking your way out starts to loudly slide into the wall on the right. Behind the door is a long corridor that branches to the left and right somewhere in the middle. Flickering emergency light from time to time lights the corridor, but every time it flickers off, the corridor becomes pitch black again. Huge amounts of cables are going along the ceiling of the corridor. Most of these cables are going into the left corridor and... Is that blood? Your legs start to shake as you realize that the whole corridor is covered in red residue and the stench of decay that is present in that corridor makes you dizzy. On the intersection you can see something. It looks like a corpse.
Until now everything was okay, but now you feel like you are being watched. Also, there is another lever that allows you to close the door behind you, but it means that the room with stasis chambers is not safe to hide in if something happens as it can be opened easily from outside.
EDIT: Yes, matches can be lit on anything, you are right.
