Set; Power-On Procedure - NCR PC4i Owner's Manual

You have everything READY, now to get the computer SET to
operate you should become familiar with the typical computer hums
and buzzes.

POWER-ON PROCEDURE

Each time you turn on your computer the "power-on self-test" is
performed by the internal program in the ROM. The sequence is:
1. Turn ON the power switch.
2. The program performs a self-diagnosis of all major components
including a memory check.
3. Don't worry! The whirring motor noise from the disk drive is
normal.
4. A blinking cursor appears on the screen.
5. The computer beeps to indicate that the system self-test is
completed.
If you hear nothing, or if you hear sounds other than those described:
a. Check the volume control on the speaker and adjust this
control, if necessary.
b. Turn OFF the power switch and turn ON the switch again.
c. Check that the wall outlet is working properly; plug in a lamp
that you are sure works.
d. If the test is still unsuccessful, call your dealer or NCR
representative for advice or to arrange service for the
computer. If you purchased a maintenance agreement, follow
the instructions you received with that agreement.
If you plan to do the service on your own computer you could
refer to the Troubleshooting Nonoperative Systems chapter
in the Hardware Maintenance and Service Manual (refer
to Additional Manuals).
6. If the test is successful and you have optional equipment that you
plan to install, turn to the Options Installation chapter in this
manual and follow the instructions there and in the installation
kit.
