3. Connect the power supply cord to the power supply located on the back of
your system case according to your system user’s manual.
4. Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.
5. You may then turn on your devices in the following order:
a. Your monitor
b. External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c. Your system power
For ATX power supplies, you need to switch ON the power supply if a
switch is provided as well as press the ATX power switch on the front of
the case.
6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. For ATX
power supplies, the system LED will light when the ATX power switch is
pressed. The LED on the monitor may light up or switch between orange and
green after the system’s if it complies with “green” standards or if it has a
power standby feature. The system will then run power-on tests. While the
tests are running, additional messages will appear on the screen. If you do not
see anything within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power, the sys-
tem may have failed a power-on test. Check your jumper settings and connec-
tions again or call your retailer for assistance.
