After making sure that you have properly set up the system and
connected all the required cables, you can now power on the system.
To power on the system:
After plugging in the power cord, press the power button.
The system starts up and displays a welcome message on the monitor.
After that, a series of POST messages appears. The POST messages
indicate if the system is running well or not.
Note: If the system does not turn on or boot after pressing the
power button(s), go to the next section for the possible causes of
the boot failure.
Aside from the POST messages, you can determine if the system is in
good condition by checking if the following occurred.
•
The power indicator on the front panel lights up green.
• The Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock indicators on the
keyboard light up.
Power-on problems

thefollowing factors that might have caused the boot failure.
•
The external power cord may be loosely connected.
Check the power cord connection from the power source to the
power supply module AC input connector on the rear panel. Make
sure that the power cord is properly connected to the power
source and to the AC input connector.
• No power comes from the grounded power outlet.
