Perform a “Bong” test
Before moving on to software installation, it’s a good idea to per-
form a “Bong” test to make sure the machine will power on.
Connect AC power to the Genesis MP Conversion, and connect a
suitable keyboard. Press the Power On key on the keyboard (con-
sult the Genesis MP User Guide). You should hear the fans
power up and a startup sound (the “Bong”) from the speaker.
If you hear a bong, power the unit down and proceed to software
installation.
If you do not hear a bong, check your work. Make sure you have
at least one RAM DIMM installed. Check to make sure the
nPOWER card is installed in its slot properly. Reseat the nPOWER
card if needed.
If you hear the sound of glass breaking instead of a bong, you
probably do not have a working RAM DIMM installed. Install a
known-good DIMM and try again.
If you do not hear the fans, ensure that the machine is receiving
AC power - that it’s plugged into a live outlet, and that a working
keyboard is properly connected.
If you cannot resolve your problem from these instructions, contact
DayStar for technical assistance.
