4.
Verify that the system LED lights. You should be able to hear fans
starting. Observe post messages on the IMD (if installed) and system
monitor (if connected).
When the system is first powered on, the system ROM detects the unconfigured
state of the hardware and provides default configuration settings for most
devices. By providing this initialization, the system can run Diagnostics and
other software applications before running the normal SmartStart and System
Configuration programs.
