2.9 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 SCSI 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 tests or 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.
