Starting Your Computer
Note: If your computer is configured correctly, it can be started remotely over a
network. For more information, see “Wake on LAN” on page 69.
1. Turn on all devices connected to the computer.
2. Press and release the power switch on your computer. This starts the computer,
and the following actions occur:
a. The IBM logo appears centered on the screen.
b. The power-on self-test (POST) is performed. You can recognize this by
looking for the increasing number in the upper-left corner of the screen.
This number is the amount of memory being tested by POST. When the
number stops, the memory is tested and POST is complete.
If POST detects a problem, you hear multiple beeps (or no beep) and an
error message appears on the screen. Write down any error code numbers
and descriptions, and see “Solving POST Problems” on page 74 and “POST
Error Message Charts” on page 77 for more information. (If you do not
hear a beep during POST, refer to “Troubleshooting Charts” on page 96.
You might need to have your computer serviced.)
c. The computer allows you to enter the Configuration/Setup Utility program
(by pressing F1) or run a fast POST (by pressing Esc). These options are
shown in the lower-left corner of the screen.
3. If the computer is not password protected, you hear a beep, and the first screen
of the operating system or application program appears. 6
If the computer is password protected, a prompt is displayed for entering either
the power-on or administrator password. If both a power-on and an
administrator password have been set, you must type either password at the
password prompt. (Refer to “Using Passwords” on page 53 for instructions on
setting and using passwords.) Type your password at the prompt and press
Enter
. The first screen of the operating system or application program appears.
6 Models with integrated Ethernet have special factory settings that affect the primary startup sequence.
If your model comes with integrated Ethernet, the computer tries to perform a remote program load
(RPL) of the operating system. If RPL is unsuccessful, several messages might appear and then your
computer loads the operating system from the hard disk drive. For more information on these factory
settings, see “Network-Enabled Startup Sequence” on page 66. For information on the messages that
might appear, see “Error Messages Specific to the Integrated Ethernet” on page 107.
