power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the ATX power

standby feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch between orange
and green after the system LED turns on. The system then runs the power-
on tests. While the tests are running, the BIOS beeps or additional
messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything within 30

retailer for assistance.

in Chapter 3.

the system to sleep mode or to soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS setting.
Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the system enter the
