•
Make sure all cables are firmly connected to the proper cable ports
on the rear panel of the system.
•
Make sure the system and monitor are plugged into an AC outlet or
power strip.

If you have connected the system components to a power strip, make
sure all the system components are turned off, and then turn on the
power strip.
2.
Press the power button on the monitor to turn on the monitor.
3.
Press the power button on the computer to turn on the computer. The
power LED (light-emitting diode) on the front panel is lit when the
computer’s power is on.
To start the system
Note:
Plug the system into a wall
outlet that is easily
accessible. To remove all
power from the system, you
