supply as well as press the ATX power switch on the front of the chassis.)
6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case lights up. For ATX
power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the ATX power

power standby feature,the monitor LED may light up or switch between
orange and green after the system LED does. The system then runs the
power-on tests. While the tests are running, the BIOS beeps or additional
messages 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. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your
retailer for assistance.
