Step 10 Perform Initial Test and
Configuration
Review the following points before powering up:
_ make sure that all adapter cards are seated properly,
_ make sure all connectors are properly installed,
_ make sure there are no screws or other foreign material
on the motherboard,
_ plug the system into a surge-protected power strip, and
_ make sure blank back panels are installed on the back of
the chassis to minimize RF emissions.
Start the Test
Plug everything in and turn on the switch. If there are any
signs of a problem, turn off the unit immediately. Reinstall
the connectors. The fuse may have to be reset. Call AMI
Technical Support if there are additional problems.
BIOS Errors
If the system operates normally, a display should appear on
the monitor. The BIOS Power On Self Test (POST) should
execute.
If POST does not run successfully, it beeps or displays error
messages. If the system beeps, a serious problem exists
with the system configuration or hardware. The beeps are
part of a Beep Code (see page Error! Bookmark not
defined.) that almost always indicates a bad or improperly
installed component. Make sure the affected part is properly
seated and connected.
