ASUS P5LD-MR 3-1

3.1 Starting up for the rst time

1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.

2. Be sure that all switches are off.

3. Connect the power cord to the power connector at the back of the

system chassis.

4. Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a

surge protector.

5. Turn on the devices in the following order:

a. Monitor

b. External storage devices (starting with the last device on the chain)

c. System power

6. After applying power, the system power LED on the system front

panel case lights up. For systems with ATX power supplies, the system

LED lights up when you press the ATX power button. If your monitor

complies with “green” standards or if it has a “power standby”

feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and

green after the system LED turns on.

The system then runs the Power-On Self-Test (POST). While the tests

are running, the BIOS beeps or additional messages appear on the

screen. If you do not see anything within 30 seconds from the time

you turned on the power, the system may have failed a power-on

test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your retailer

for assistance.

7. At power on, hold down the <Del> key to enter the BIOS Setup. Follow

the instructions in Chapter 4.
