The power indicator below the button lights up. After a few seconds, the computer starts to perform a diagnostic self testa series of checks it completes each time you turn it on to make sure everything is working correctly.

Note

If you or your dealer have made a major change to your system, such as adding a disk drive, you may need to wait a few minutes for your computer to complete power-on diagnostics the first time you turn it on.

When the system has successfully completed its self test, you see a prompt to insert a system diskette. (Do not insert a diskette at this point.)

If necessary, use the controls on your monitor to adjust the brightness and contrast until characters on the screen are clear and at a comfortable level of intensity. If your monitor has horizontal and vertical hold controls, you may need to use them to stabilize the display.
