Startup Procedure
Follow the startup procedure outlined in the manual for your
chassis.
When you start your system, the BIOS will test the hardware and
check the system configuration against the values stored in its
CMOS memory.
Since this is the first time you are starting up, the BIOS will display
an error message stating that the configuration does not match the
stored values. You should then run the BIOS setup program as
described in Chapter 5.
If the BIOS hardware diagnostic tests fail, you may see an error
message on the screen describing the problem. If the BIOS found a
problem early in the tests, you will need to determine the BIOS
POST (Power On Self Test) results by counting beeps or using a
POST card.
The most common source of problems is incorrect jumper settings.
Double check your settings (Chapter 1) and restart the system.
There are three methods you can use to restart your system after it
is turned on:
1. Switch the power off, then on again
2. Reboot the system. Using the keyboard, simultaneously press
the CTL, ALT and DEL keys
3. Depress the optional reset switch
Use of each of these methods will erase data from the system RAM
memory. If you can, save any data stored in memory to a hard or
floppy disk before you reset your system.
