Step 9 Perform Initial Test and Configuration
Before powering up the system to perform the initial test, review
the following checklist:
_ make sure that all adapter cards are seated properly,
_ make sure all connectors are properly seated,
_ if a math coprocessor or Upgradable Processor is used, make sure it is
seated properly,
_ make sure there are no screws or other foreign material on the
motherboard,
_ plug the system into a surge-protected power strip, and
_ make sure blank back panels are installed on the back of the chassis to
minimize RF emissions.
Start the Test
Plug everything in and turn on the switch. If there are any signs of a
problem, turn off the unit immediately. Reinstall the connectors.
Call Technical Support at 404-246-8600 if there are problems. If
the system operates normally, a memory display should appear on
the monitor. AMIBIOS POST should run. POST beeps or displays
error messages is unsuccessful.
Configure the System
Run AMIBIOS Setup to provide the requested information and
save the configuration data in CMOS RAM. The system then
resets, runs POST, and boots the operating system. See page 45
for a description of AMIBIOS STANDARD CMOS SETUP
options.
In Case of Errors
If the system beeps, a serious problem exists with the system
configuration or hardware. Beep codes (see page 34) indicate a
bad component. If AMIBIOS is able to initialize the system video
monitor, messages are displayed on the screen. These messages
are described on page 35. Recheck the system configuration or the
connections to assure that the installation procedures were
followed.
