POWERING UP THE SYSTEM
11.1 POWER UP
Once you are ready to power up your system:
1. Insert a bootable diskette in the drive A to start your system with DOS.
2. Hit the DELETE key before or when this message appears near the bottom of the
screen:
"Press DEL to enter SETUP".
- In Standard Setup, set the date and time.
- In other menu choices, set other options (if necessary).
3. From the main menu, press the F10 key. Type "Y" to save your setup. The system will
continue the boot procedure.
4. Once the boot procedure is completed, reboot the system to make sure everything
works properly.
11.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
If you should encounter a problem, first verify the following items:
1. Make sure that all connectors are connected properly. On the standard flat ribbon
cable used for the floppy connector, pin 1 is indicated by small red stripe. Verify that
this red stripe is located on the appropriate side of the connector.
2. Verify your boot diskette. It must be a system disk and it must be in proper working
order.
3. If the system still does not start up properly, you should try booting your system with
only the power cord and video monitor connected (this is the minimum required to see
if the board is working).
4. If you still are not able to get your board up and running, contact our Technical
Support department for assistance.
The main menu appears on the screen.
