Chapter 3 Configuring The System
Power-on Self-Test
▲
!
WARNING
The power button on the front panel of the system does
not turn off the AC power. To remove AC power from the
system, you must unplug the AC power cord from each
power supply or wall outlet.
Turn on the video monitor and system. After a few seconds the power-on
self test (POST) begins.
Each time you turn on the system the power LED on the front panel turns
on and the POST starts running. The POST checks the system board,
processor, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.
During the memory test, the POST displays the amount of memory that it is
able to access and test. Depending on the amount installed on the memory
module, the test may take several minutes to complete.
These screen prompts and messages appear after the memory test:
Press F2 key if you want to run SETUP
If you do not press <F2>, the boot process continues, and this message
appears:
Press Ctrl C to start configuration Utility!
If you have installed SCSI devices in the system, press <Ctrl+C>. When the
utility appears, follow the instructions on the monitor to configure the
onboard SCSI host adapter settings and run the SCSI disk utilities. See
“Using the Symbios SCSI Utility” on page 76.
