1) [ ]Visually ensure all connectors are seated.

2) [ ]Visually ensure all cards are seated.

3) [ ]Visually ensure no screws or foreign material are on motherboard.

2.2 Initial Power-Up

After you have completed the "Before power-up checklist", you are ready to

power-up.

NOTE

We recommend you to plug your system into a surge protected power strip.

This will help protect your system in the event of a power surge.

During a lightning storm it is advisable to either unplug your system or

use a UPS (un-interruptable power supply).

Plug in the power cord, switch on the monitor and set the brightness and

contrast to full. Allow the monitor to warm up for a few minutes, then turn on

the system power. The message you will get on the screen should be:

386SX BIOS (C)1990 American Megatrends Inc

▓▓▓▓▓

KB OK

Press <ESC> to bypass MEMORY test

The following conditions may exist at power up and the first display screen may

not be same:

1. The Video Display Adapter used in the system is other than the

standard Monochrome or Color Graphics board. In this case, with some

display adapter cards, the Video Display ROM will place a message on the

screen.

2. The Video Display Monitor is not correct for the video adapter. (e.g,

connecting Color Graphics Monitor with Monochrome Display Adapter card).

3. There is some problem with the motherboard or the display adapter

card. In this case the BIOS will inform the USER of the fault either

through error beeps emitted by the speaker or displaying the error

message on the display screen if the video adapter card is OK. These

errors are considered to be fatal errors and the system ROM BIOS does not

proceed further if this kind of error occurs. Following are the fatal

errors that the BIOS displays on the display screen:
