3. Make sure your video display monitor and keyboard are correctly connected to the
system. Turn on the video monitor. Set its brightness and contrast controls to at
least two thirds of their maximum ranges (see the documentation supplied with
your video display monitor).
4. If the operating system normally loads from the hard disk drive, make sure there is
no diskette in drive A and no CD-ROM disk in the CD-ROM drive.
5. If the power LED does light, attempt to boot from a CD-ROM disk.
6. Turn on the system. If the power LED does not light, see “Power Light Does Not
Light” .
Verifying Proper Operation of Key System Lights
As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each mass
storage device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity light should
turn on briefly. Check for the following:
•
Does the diskette drive activity light turn on briefly? If not, see “CD-ROM Drive or
DVD-ROM Drive Activity Light Does Not Light” .
• If system LEDs are illuminated, see “Make sure the BIOS is configured to allow the
CD-ROM to be the first bootable device.” for a description of the light and steps to
take to correct the problem.
Confirming Loading of the Operating System
Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt appears on the screen. The prompt
varies according to the operating system. If the operating system prompt does not appear,
see
“No Characters Appear on Screen” .
