Powering Up the System 5
Powering Up the System
Press the On/Off switch on the front panel, and the green LED on the front
panel will illuminate ON.
If you turn off your system, you must wait at least ten seconds before you
turn the system back on.
The system self-checks the memory even if the monitor is not connected. If
the monitor is connected and powered ON, the screen will display the
power-up sequence.
•
If more than one CPU is installed, the system will display which
CPU it is currently testing.
•
If any errors are encountered, your system will display them on the
monitor.
•
If a monitor is not connected or the system is unable to display an
error, an error beep code will sound.
•
If the system encounters an error, it will most likely be a nonfatal
one, meaning the system will function until the error can be
corrected (usually through the BIOS Setup). In the rare case of a
fatal error, contact your Gateway reseller for field service support.
Warning!
For safety reasons, both
upper and lower bezel doors
must be closed and locked
while the system is running.
