Reconfigure your computer after installing a non–plug and play
expansion board or other option. See "solving hardware
installation problems" for instructions.
Be sure that all the needed device drivers have been installed. For
example, if you have connected a printer, you need to install a
printer driver.
Remove all diskettes from your system before turning it on.
If you have installed an operating system other than the
factory-installed operating system, check to be sure that it is
supported on your system.
If your system has multiple video sources (embedded, PCI, or
AGP adapters) installed (embedded video on select models only)
and a single monitor, the monitor must be plugged into the
monitor connector on the source selected as the primary VGA
adapter. During boot, the other monitor connectors are disabled
and if the monitor is connected into these ports, the monitor will
not function. You can select which source will be the default
VGA source in Computer Setup (F10).
CAUTION: When the computer is plugged into an AC power source,
there is always voltage applied to the system board. You must disconnect
the power cord from the power source before opening the computer to
prevent system board or component damage.
You may be able to easily resolve the minor problems described in
this section. If a problem persists and you are unable to resolve it
yourself or if you feel uncomfortable about performing the operation,
contact an authorized dealer or reseller.
