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 (For ATX power supplies, you need to switch on the power
supply as well as press the ATX power switch on the front of the chassis.)
6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case lights up. For ATX
power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the ATX power
switch. If the 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 does. The system then runs the
power-on tests. 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 turn on the power, the system may have failed
a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your
retailer for assistance.
