2.8 Initial System Checkout

After you've installed all internal options and external cabling, you're ready for system
checkout and software configuration.

To check out the system, press the power button on the left side of the notebook which
initiates self test. During self test execution, the computer checks the operation of all
key hardware including memory and CPU (and displays copyright and version number

Upon successful conclusion of self test, the computer automatically loads its operating
system and windows environment. If self test fails to complete and an error message is
displayed, try powering down the computer for a couple of minutes and turning power
