3. INSTALLATION
3.6 Ready To Turn On Power
l Review
Is the CPU installed correctly and locked firmly into
socket? (Sec. 3.2)
Are all DRAM modules installed properly? (Sec. 3.3)
Are all expansion cards inserted, (Modem…. etc.)?
(Sec. 3.4)
Are all connectors described in Section 3.5 properly
connected to their variable devices? (Sec. 3.5)
l Yes, I have checked and assured the above steps!
Now get ready to turn on your device by following these steps.
Mount your motherboard to the chassis frame and close the
chassis cover.
Switch off all power.
Connect the power supply cord to inlet of the system case.
Connect the power supply cord into an outlet of power
supply.
Connect monitor signal cable to system VGA port, and the monitor power cord to
power outlet.
Turn on monitor and system power.
Once Powered On
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 system will then perform “power-on” tests for each item, one at a time. Additional
messages will appear on screen at this time. If the screen blinks or the tests stops more
than 30 seconds, the system may have failed the
“power-on” test. If this happens, recheck the above
steps or call your retailer for assistance.
If all of the “power-on” tests pass, you are ready to
enter BIOS setup. Do this now by holding down the
<Delete> button on the keyboard. Follow the
instructions in the next chapter, BIOS SETUP.
