System startup
After making sure that you have set up the system properly and
connected all the required cables, you may now apply power to the
system.
To power on the system:
Open the front panel door and press the power button. The system
starts up and displays a welcome message. After that, a series of
power-on self-test (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, go to the next section for the possible causes of the
boot failure.
Aside from the self-test messages, you can determine if the system is in
good condition by checking if the following occurred:
• Power indicator LED on the front bezel lights up (green)
• Power, Num Lock, and Caps Lock LED indicators on the keyboard
light up
