Checking The System - IBM IntelliStation M Pro 6868-5BU System Integration Manual

Checking the System

You should turn on the system and make sure there are no problems
with the basic connections you made in "Connecting the Basic
System" on page 3-2 before you add memory, Avid boards, or make
any BIOS or configuration changes to the IBM 6868 system.
To make sure there are no problems:
1. Turn on the monitor and then the IBM 6868 system.
You see the SCSI BIOS execute as you did with the Windows NT
operating system. After the SCSI BIOS executes, the Windows
2000 startup line executes at the bottom of the screen. You will no
longer see selections for different display modes and hardware
configurations. Allow the boot process to continue.
If at a later date you need to see the display modes and hardware
configurations screen, you can press the F8 function key.
2. The system continues to boot for the first time. You are asked
questions relative to the software licensing of the Windows 2000
operating system and specific setup procedures. Answer the
questions as if you were the customer, but remember that you will
be installing a new Windows NT image in a later chapter.
When asked about Administrative accounts, leave them without
passwords.
3. Log in to the system using the Administrator account with no
password.
4. Once you reach the Windows 2000 desktop, you can assume that
your IBM 6868 system is properly connected to the monitor,
keyboard, and mouse.
5. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and select Control Panel.
