Turning On The System - Acer AT350 F2 Series Service Manual

Turning on the system

After making sure that you have properly set up the system, applied power
and connected all the necessary peripherals, you can now power on the
system. Follow the procedure below.
1 Press the power button.
The system starts up and displays a welcome message on the
monitor. After that, a series of power-on self-test (POST) messages
appears. The POST messages indicate if the system is running well or
not.
Note: If the system does not turn on or boot after pressing the power
button, go to the next section for the possible causes of the boot
failure.
Aside from the POST messages, you can determine if the system is in
good condition by checking if the following occurred.
• The power status indicator on the front panel lights up green.
• The Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock indicators on the keyboard
light up.
