Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Starting up for the first time

1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.

2. Make sure that all switches are turned off.

3. Turn on the devices in the following order.

a.

Monitor

b.

External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)

c.

System power

4. After powering on, LED on the system front panel case lights up. For ATX

power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the ATX power

switch. If your monitor complies with green standards or if it has a power

standby feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and

green after the system LED turns on. The system then enters the Power-On

Self Test (POST) routines. 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 turned on the power, the system may have

failed a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call

your retailer for assistance.

5. After the POST routines are completed, press the key to access the

BIOS Setup Utility. For detailed instructions, please refer to Chapter 3.

Powering off the computer

1. Using the OS shut down function

If you use windows 98/ME/2000/XP, click Start and select Shut Down, then

click the OK button to shut down the computer. The power supply should

turn off after Windows shuts down.

2. Using the dual function power switch

While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than 4 sec-

onds puts the system in sleep mode or soft-off mode, depending on the

BIOS setting. Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the

system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.
