Turning on the system
After making sure that you have properly set up the system, applied
power and connected all the necessary peripherals, you can now
power on the system. Follow the procedure below.
1 Press the power button.
The system starts up and displays a welcome message on the
monitor. After that, a series of power-on self-test (POST) messages
appears. The POST messages indicate if the system is running well
or not.
Note: If the system does not turn on or boot after pressing the
power button, go to the next section for the possible causes of the
boot failure.
Aside from the POST messages, you can determine if the system is in
good condition by checking if the following occurred.
• The power status indicator on the front panel lights up blue.
• The Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock indicators on the
keyboard light up.
