Turning on Your Genesis MP
First, turn on your monitor.
If your monitor’s power cord is plugged into the rear of your Genesis MP, you can sim-
ply leave the monitor turned on and it will automatically be turned on and off when
your Genesis MP is turned on or off.
You can turn on your Genesis MP’s power in two ways:
• By pressing the power key
on your keyboard, or
• By pressing the power button on the top left hand corner of your Genesis MP.
You will hear a tone from your Genesis MP as it starts up.
When you look at the image on your monitor, you should see:
• The Mac OS logo followed by the Mac OS desktop.
Note: Because a self test is performed when you turn on your Genesis MP, it will
take more time for the screen image to appear if you have a large amount of memory
installed in your Genesis MP.
If you see a blinking question mark, please turn to Chapter 5—Troubleshooting.
If you see anything else or if you see no image at all, please check the following:
• Is the green light on the front of your Genesis MP turned on? This would show
that your Genesis MP is on and is receiving power.
If not:
Is the power cable properly installed into your Genesis MP and into an electrical outlet?
If the power cord is plugged into a power strip or wall outlet that can be turned on and
off, is the outlet or strip turned on?
Check to be sure that the keyboard cable is firmly connected to your Genesis MP and
to the keyboard.
• If the monitor has a power light, is it turned on? This would show that the
monitor is on and receiving power.
If not:
Is the monitor’s power cable properly installed into your Genesis MP or into an
electrical outlet?
Check the Brightness and Contrast controls on your monitor. Are they turned all the
way down? Now is a good time to adjust them.
