Turning on the system

After making sure that you have properly set up the system, applied
power, and connected all the necessary peripherals, you can now
power on the system.

To turn on the system, press the power button on the front panel.

The system starts up and displays a welcome message on the monitor.

After that, a series of power-on self-test (POST) messages appears. The
POST messages indicate if the system is running well or not.

Note: If the system does not turn on or boot after pressing the
power button, go to the next section for the possible causes of the
boot failure.

Aside from the POST messages, you can determine if the system is in
good condition by checking if the following occurred.

The power status indicator on the front panel lights up green.

The Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock indicators on the
keyboard light up.
