3.9 Power Connection Procedures

1. After all jumpers and connections are made, close the system case cover.

2. Be sure that all switches are off (in some systems, marked with ).

3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of

your system case according to your system user’s manual.

4. Connect the power cord into a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.

5. You may then turn on your devices in the following order:

a. Your monitor

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

c. Your system power.

For ATX power supplies, you need to switch ON the power supply if a

switch is provided as well as press the ATX power switch on the front of

the case.

6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. For ATX power

supplies, the system LED will light when the ATX power switch is pressed. The

monitor LED may light up after the system’s if it complies with “green” standards

or if it has a power standby feature. The system will then run power-on tests. While

the tests are running, additional messages will appear on the screen. If you do not

see anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the system

may have failed a power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and connections or

call your retailer for assistance.

7. During power-on, hold down <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup. Follow the instruc-

tions in 4. BIOS SETUP.

* Powering Off your computer: You must first exit or shut down your operating

system before switching off the power switch. For ATX power supplies, you can

press the ATX power switch after exiting or shutting down your operating system.

If you use Windows 95/98, click the Start button, click Shut Down, and then click

Shut down the computer?. The power supply should turn off after Windows shuts

down.

NOTE: The message “You can now safely turn off your computer” will not appear

when shutting down with ATX power supplies.
