This chapter explains the checks that must be conducted on the basic hardware settings and
basic inspections of the AV disks after the unit’s power switch has been set to the ON
position.
When conducting the checks and inspections described in this chapter, do not turn off the
power or reset the system unnecessarily. Doing so may change or destroy the pre-installed
software programs or data.
For details on turning off the power and resetting the system, refer to the
descriptions given for the items concerned.

2-1. Checking the power startup
When the unit’s power switch is set to ON, the unit’s basic test is
automatically conducted, and its results can be checked out by beep tones
and displays which appear on the computer monitor.
After the power switches of the computer monitor, monitor (Video) for
monitoring the pictures and other peripheral devices have been set to ON,
set the unit’s power switch to ON and conduct the checks described below at
startup.
If trouble has been detected as a result of conducting the checks, refer to the
“Troubleshooting” section in the Operating Instructions. (Refer to pages
20–27 of the Operating Instructions.)
Since it takes very little time to check the displays on the computer monitor,
you will find it easier to perform the checks if you quickly glance through the
whole of this section and the BIOS screen displays in Appendix A (pages
34–38) and understand what is involved.
For details on how to adjust the monitor and otherwise handle any of the
peripheral devices, refer to the operating instructions accompanying each
device concerned.

Power startup checks and AV disk inspections
Note:
If a monitor display which should have been checked during startup has
been overlooked, the unit must be rebooted so that it can be checked.
Under no circumstances must the power be turned off or the system
reset while white characters appear on a blue background during
startup.
Wait until the Windows NT flag appears, and then reboot the unit using
the system reset switch on the unit’s front panel.
