Are You Ready To Turn On The System?
Check Again
1. Is the CPU installed exactly and firmly into the socket (Sec. 3.3)?
2. Are all the DRAM modules installed properly (Sec. 3.4)?
3. Are all the add-in peripheral seated and configured properly (Sec. 3.5)?
4. Are you sure that all the connectors (described in Sec. 3.6) have been connected to their
related devices (Sec. 3.6)?
Yes, I have checked and assured the above steps!
Now get ready to turn on your device by following the steps below.
1. Mount your motherboard to the chassis frame and close the case cover.
2. Connect the power supply cord into inlet of the system case.
3. Connect the power supply cord into an outlet of power supply.
4. Connect Monitor signal cable to the system VGA port and the monitor power cord to power
outlet.
5. Now turn on the monitor and system power.
After Power On, the power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. For ATX power
supplies, the system LED will light when the ATX power switch is pressed.
The system will then do a power-on-self-test, and additional messages will appear on screen. If the
screen blinks or the tests stop more than 30 seconds, the system may have failed the power-on-
self-test. If so, please recheck the above steps or call your retailer for assistance.
If the power-on-self-test goes well, hold down <F2> key on the keyboard to enter BIOS Setup.
Next, follow the instructions in the next chapter: BIOS SETUP.
