– If the computer is plugged into a power strip, ensure that the power
strip is plugged into an electrical outlet and that the power strip is
turned on.
– Bypass power protection devices, power strips, and power extension
cables to verify that the computer turns on properly.
– Ensure that the electrical outlet is working by testing it with another
device, such as a lamp.
• If the power light is blinking amber, the computer is receiving electrical
power, but an internal power problem might exist.
– Ensure that the voltage selection switch is set to match the AC power
at your location, if applicable.
• If the power light is steady amber, a device may be malfunctioning or
incorrectly installed.
– Remove and then reinstall any cards (see "Using Cards" on page 63).
• Eliminate interference. Some possible causes of interference are:
– Too many devices on a power strip
– Multiple power strips connected to the same electrical outlet
