Step 12 Test and Configure

Review the following points before powering up:

• make sure that all adapter cards are seated properly,

• make sure all connectors are properly installed,

• make sure the CPU is seated properly,

• make sure there are no screws or other foreign

material on the motherboard,

• plug the system into a surge-protected power strip,

and

• make sure blank back panels are installed on the back

of the chassis to minimize RF emissions.

Start the Test Plug everything in and turn on the switch. If there are any

signs of a problem, turn off the unit immediately.

Reinstall the connectors. Call Technical Support if there

are problems.

BIOS Errors If the system operates normally, a display should appear

on the monitor. The BIOS Power On Self Test (POST)

should execute.

If POST does not run successfully, it will beep or display

error messages. Beeps indicate a serious problem with the

system configuration or hardware. The Beep Code

indicates the problem. AMIBIOS Beep Codes are defined

in the AMIBIOS Technical Reference. Make sure the

affected part is properly seated and connected. An error

message is displayed if the error is less serious. Recheck

the system configuration or the connections.

Configure the System Run AMIBIOS Setup. You must enter the requested

information and save the configuration data in NVRAM.

The system will then reset, run POST, and boot the

operating system. See the following chapter for

information on configuring the computer.
