Helpful hints
If you encounter a problem with the workstation, monitor, or software, the following general
suggestions might help you isolate and focus on the problem before taking further action.
At startup
● Verify that the workstation and monitor are plugged into a working electrical outlet.
● Remove all optical discs and USB drive keys from the drives before powering on the workstation.
● Verify that the workstation is turned on and the power light is on.
● If you have installed an operating system other than the factory-installed operating system, check
to be sure that it is supported on your system by visiting http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs .
● Verify that the monitor is turned on and the green monitor light is on.
● Turn up the brightness and contrast controls of the monitor if the monitor is dim.
● If the workstation has multiple video sources and only a single monitor, the monitor must be
connected to the source selected as the primary VGA adapter. During startup, the other monitor
connections are disabled; if the monitor is connected to one of these ports, it will not function after
Power-on Self Test (POST). You can select the default VGA source in Computer (f10) Setup Utility.
