3.9 Starting Up the First Time
1. After all connections are made, close the system case cover.
2. Be sure that all switches are off (in some systems, marked with
).
3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of
your system case according to your system user’s manual.
4. Connect the power cord into a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.
5. You may then turn on your devices in the following order:
a. Your monitor
b. External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c. Your system power. For ATX power supplies, you need to switch on the power
supply as well as press the ATX power switch on the front of the case.
6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. For ATX power
supplies, the system LED will light when the ATX power switch is pressed. The
LED on the monitor may light up or switch between orange and green after the
system’s if it complies with “green” standards or if it has a power standby fea-
ture. The system will then run power-on tests. While the tests are running, the
BIOS will alarm beeps or additional messages will appear on the screen. If you
do not see anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the
system may have failed a power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and con-
nections or call your retailer for assistance.
