Chapter 3 Operation
Start the System Apply power to the system. The computer performs a Power On Self
Test (POST). The processor board, memory, keyboard, and certain
peripheral devices are tested.
The system displays the progress of the POST and initialization of
accessory devices. The computer displays the startup dialogs for the
operating system that is installed.
If your system does not boot up, or you notice other problems, refer
to the System Troubleshooting chapter.
Reset the System To reset the computer, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete on the attached keyboard
and follow the operating system instructions.
After resetting, the computer begins the Power On Self Test (POST).
During a reset, the computer:
•
clears RAM.
•
starts the POST.
•
initializes peripheral devices, such as drives and printers.
•
loads the operating system (if installed).
Install Drivers The operating system usually selects the best device driver settings.
However, you may want to ensure fully optimized performance by
manually installing the device drivers included with your system.
Refer to the Readme files on the supplied accessory CD for details on
the latest device drivers and installation procedures.
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Ports The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an external bus standard that
supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps (480 million bits per
second). You can connect multiple peripheral devices to the USB
ports, such as a mouse, modem, and keyboard. USB also supports
Plug-and-Play installation and hot plugging.
For information on installing or using USB, refer to the documentation
for your USB peripheral device.
TIP
Many USB devices only work with Windows XP or Windows
2000, because these operating systems have native USB
drivers. Make sure the selected USB peripheral has software
drivers available for your target operating system.
