Turning on the System at First Start-up
To power up the system for the first time, follow these steps:
1. All system components such as a video monitor and keyboard should be
connected before turning on the system. All connections should be
made while the system is off.
2. Connect the female end of the AC power cord into the AC power input
socket at the rear of the system, and plug the male end of the power cord
into a grounded electrical outlet.
3. Turn on power to the monitor.
4. Press the power button at the front of the system (the green power LED
on the front panel will go on). The system will power up and
immediately begin the power-on self test (POST).
When you boot the system, the POST checks the settings stored in CMOS
RAM against the actual hardware configuration. During the memory test,
the POST displays the amount of memory that it has tested. The POST takes
approximately 15 seconds to complete. If you want to go into the Setup
program, press the <F1> key after the POST starts the memory test, but
before the system boots up (see Setup, Chapter 3). Your next step after
booting depends on what POST finds. See the following possibilities:
