Ready To Turn On Power
Check Again
1. Is the CPU installed exactly and firmly into the socket (Sec.
3.3)?
2. Are all the DRAM modules installed properly (Sec. 3.4)?
3. Did you insert the expansion card (VGA, Sound… etc.) already
(Sec. 3.5)?
Are you sure that all the connectors (described in Sec 3.6) have
been connected to their variable devices (Sec. 3.6)?
Yes, I have checked and assured the above steps!
Now get ready to turn on your device by following the steps below.
1. Mount your motherboard to the chassis frame and close the
case cover.
2. Switch off all power.
3. Connect the power supply cord into inlet of the system case.
4. Connect the power supply cord into an outlet of power supply.
5. Connect Monitor signal cable to the system VGA port and the
monitor power cord to power outlet.
6. Now turn on the monitor and system power.
After Power on
, the power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. For
ATX power supplies, the system LED will light when the ATX power switch is
pressed.
The system will then do a power-on-self-test, and additional messages will appear
on screen. If the screen blinks or the tests stop more than 30 seconds, the system
may have failed the power-on-self-test. If so, please recheck the above steps or call
your retailer for assistance.
