Starting Your Computer
What you see and hear when you start up your computer depends upon the
settings in the Start Options menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
The default settings are Power On Status [Disabled] and Power On Self Test
[Quick].
Note: There are other selections that might also change what is displayed.
The following briefly describes what you see in the default mode when you turn on
your computer:
Ÿ
The IBM logo appears
Ÿ
The amount of system memory and extended memory appears in top-left corner
of screen
Ÿ
Press F1 for Configuration/Setup
prompt appears
Ÿ
The keyboard is locked
Ÿ
The SCSI BIOS installs (on some models)
Ÿ
The keyboard is unlocked
– If any errors were detected during POST, they are displayed.
Ÿ
If you have set a power-on password, a prompt appears on the screen. If you
have set both power-on and administrator passwords, you can type either
password at the password prompt. Type your password at the prompt and
press Enter.
Ÿ
The first screen of your operating system or application program appears.
If Power On Status is [Enabled], and POST finishes without detecting a problem,
you hear one beep. If POST detects a problem when you start your computer, you
hear multiple beeps or no beep. In most cases, an error code appears in the top-left
corner of the screen, and in some cases a description of the error is displayed beside
the code. (Note that the screen will sometimes display multiple error codes and
descriptions.) Write down all error code numbers and descriptions.
If Power On Self Test is [Enhanced], numbers showing the amount of memory being
tested appear in the top-left corner of the screen until the total amount of memory
in the system is reached. Prompts for running a fast POST or accessing the
Configuration/Setup Utility program appear in the lower-left corner of the screen.
