screen is blank because the system failed to boot
Your workstation’s operating system will fail to boot if the line voltage
switch is set to 230V and AC line voltage is 115V.
To solve this problem:
1. Place the workstation so that you are looking at the back of it.
2. Use a small thin bladed screwdriver to slide the workstation’s line
voltage switch to the left until you see 115 in the right opening of the
switch. See Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Setting the Workstation’s Line Voltage Switch
CAUTION Care must be taken to ensure that the line voltage switch is set correctly.
Failure to do this could destroy the power supply if the line voltage
switch is set to 115V and AC line voltage is 230V.
