3
Turn on the computer by pressing its power button. The light-emitting
diode (LED) in the power button is lit when the power is on.
4
Turn on any other components connected to the computer, such as
speakers, a printer, or a scanner.
If nothing happens when you turn on the system:
■
Recheck the power cables to make sure that they are securely
plugged in and that your power strip (if you are using one) is
plugged in and turned on.
■
Make sure the monitor is connected to the computer, plugged into
the power strip or AC outlet, and turned on. You may also need
to adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor.
Important
Wait until the startup procedure is finished before loading
a diskette in the diskette drive, or the computer may search
the diskette for startup information.
