Step 14 Test and Configure
Review the following points before powering up:
_ make sure that all adapter cards are seated properly,
_ make sure all connectors are properly installed,
_ if the upgrade 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 if there are problems.
BIOS Errors
If the system operates normally, a display should appear on the monitor. The BIOS Power On Self Test
(POST) should execute.
If POST does not run successfully, it will beep or display error messages. Beeps indicate a serious problem
with the system configuration or hardware. The Beep Code (see page 66) indicates the problem. Make sure
the affected part is properly seated and connected. An error message is displayed if the error is less serious.
Recheck the system configuration or the connections.
Configure the System
Run WinBIOS Setup. You must enter the requested information and save the configuration data in CMOS
RAM. The system will then reset, run POST, and boot the operating system. See page 78 for information on
configuring the system via Standard Setup.
