Installing the power supply
Procedure
1. Connect the power cord to the power connector at the rear of the system.
Powering up the system
If the system is connected to a power source, it powers up automatically. It needs to be powered up only after a manual

This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the system enters standby mode.
• Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the system to power down.
This method forces the system to power down without properly exiting applications and the OS. If an application stops
responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
Before proceeding, you must ensure that the system is in standby mode by verifying that the system power LED is off.
