Step 1 Are the power indicator lights on the system unit and monitor lit?
Power is reaching the system unit and monitor. Go to Step 2.

they are turned on.
b. Make sure your system unit and monitor cables are correctly and
securely connected. Make sure the system unit and monitor power
cords are plugged into electrical outlets. The Setup poster shows how

c. Make sure the electrical outlets you are using are not controlled by a
wall or dimmer switch.
d. If you are using a multiple outlet device (for example, a power surge
protector or power strip), make sure it is plugged in and turned on.
