3.9 Starting Up the First Time

1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.

2. Be sure that all switches are off (in some systems, marked with ).

3. Connect the power cord to the power supply located at the back of the system

chassis.

4. Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.

5. Turn on the devices in the following order:

a. Monitor
b. External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c. System power (For ATX power supplies, you need to switch on the power

supply as well as press the ATX power switch on the front of the chassis.)

6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case lights up. For ATX power

supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the ATX power switch. If the
monitor complies with “green” standards or if it has a power standby feature,the
monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and green after the system
LED does. The system then runs the power-on tests. While the tests are running,
the BIOS beeps or additional messages appears on the screen. If you do not see
anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the system
may have failed a power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and connections
or call your retailer for assistance.
