Turning on power

Turn on the monitor and other external devices first, and then turn on the computer. When the power-on self-test (POST) is finished, the logo window closes. If your computer has preinstalled software, the software installation program starts.

If you experience any problems during startup, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting and diagnostics,” on page 23 and Chapter 4, “Getting information, help, and service,” on page 19.
