Connect the power cord to the power connector at the back of the system chassis.

Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.

Turn on the devices in the following order:

System power

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,

the BIOS beeps (refer to the BIOS beep codes table) or 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.
