Starting Your PC Workstation for the First Time
If your PC Workstation has preinstalled software, it is initialized the first
time you start the PC Workstation. The software initialization process takes
a few minutes. This process sets up the software in your language and sets
up your software to use the hardware installed in your computer (you can
change the settings after the software has been initialized).
Starting Your PC Workstation
1 Before you start your PC Workstation, first switch on the display.
2 Start your PC Workstation in one of these ways:
• Press the power button on the front panel.
• Press the keyboard space bar (multimedia models only).
The keyboard power-on feature will work only if the appropriate
system board switch is set (the default setting is enabled).
When you switch on the computer, it carries out the Power-On-Self-
Test (POST) while the PC Workstation's logo is displayed. If you wish to
view the details of this test, press the Esc key. If there is an error in the
POST, the error will automatically be displayed.
3 If you have set a password in the PC Workstation's Setup program, the
password prompt displays after the POST has completed. If the
Password prompt is displayed, type your password and press Enter to
be able to use the PC Workstation.
