Starting Up For The First Time; Turning Off The Computer - Asus X670E-PRO WIFI Manual

2.4

Starting up for the first time

1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.
2. Ensure that all switches are off.
3. Connect the power cord to the power connector 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 storage devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c. System power
6. After applying power, the system power LED on the system front panel case lights
up. For systems with ATX power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press
the ATX power button. If your monitor complies with the "green" standards or if it has
a "power standby" feature, the monitor LED may light up or change from orange to
green after the system LED turns on.
The system then runs the power-on self tests (POST). While the tests are running,
additional messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything within 30
seconds from the time you turned on the power, the system may have failed a power-
on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for assistance.
7. At power on, hold down the <Delete> key to enter the BIOS Setup. Follow the
instructions in Chapter 3.

on sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS setting. Press the power button
for more than four seconds to let the system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS
setting.
