Configuration & Installation

Checking The Installation

Once you have installed and connected internal pe-
ripherals -- most likely at least a hard disk drive, a
floppy disk drive and a CD-ROM drive – check and
make sure everything is correctly and firmly con-
nected or installed. After that, assemble the system
housing and connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse
or other pointing device. Plug the power cord into
the power supply and plug it into a surge-protected
power outlet.
Turn on the computer. The POST (Power On Self
Test) will run and should display the correct memory
total. The default BIOS settings should automatically
detect and configure any floppy disk drives and IDE
devices as well as assign resources for any expansion
cards you may have installed. If you encounter a
problem, reboot and run the CMOS Setup Utility by
pressing the delete key. If you need help using the
utility, see Chapter 4. The system should now be
ready to install an Operating System on the hard disk
drive and the necessary support software from the
Support Disk.
