Power connection sequence
Power connection sequence
The following table lists the sequence of behaviors you should expect to see and/or
hear as you connect the power cable to a normally operating K2 Media Client. If you
observe behaviors other than those listed, refer to other sections of this manual to
investigate potential problems.
This power connection sequence assumes that before the power cord was removed,
the K2 Media Client was properly shut down from AppCenter, from the Windows
operating system, or from the standby button. If the power cord was removed without
a proper shutdown, when the power cord is connected the K2 Media Client might go
directly to the startup sequence. Refer to
“Shutdown/restart problems” on page 87 .
Motherboard/BIOS startup
A few seconds after startup, on the VGA monitor a black screen is displayed with
system information messages. This is the BIOS Power On Self Test (POST). Press
Delete on the keyboard during this time to enter the BIOS settings pages. When the
BIOS POST completes the Windows operating system begins to load.
If during the BIOS POST time a message appears that requires your input or if the K2
Media Client does not progress to Windows startup, it indicates a problem at the
motherboard level. To correct problems of this nature, contact Grass Valley Support.
Windows startup
After the motherboard startup processes complete the Windows operating system
starts up. Normally the Windows operating system completes its processes
automatically without the need to press keys or respond to messages. When the
Windows startup is complete the Windows logon dialog box is displayed.
If the Windows startup screen does not proceed automatically or if a message appears
that requires your input, it indicates a problem at the operating system level. If the
problem cannot be corrected with a supported procedure (such as networking), the
Windows operating system is not operating as it should. To correct problems of this
nature, restore the system drive image. Refer to
“Using recovery disk images” on
page 67 .
