Looking Things Over

3. If a power strip is used, is it switched on?
4. Are the voltage selection switches on the power supply set for the
proper voltage (115V or 230V)?
Verifying Your Configuration
If your system is not operating correctly, the BIOS may contain an invalid
configuration parameter. Enter the BIOS program and check your
configuration settings. For detailed information regarding the BIOS
program, refer to BIOS Setup section in your Technical Reference manual.
