2-7 Starting Up Your Computer
After all connections are made, close your computer case cover.
Be sure all the switches are off, and check that the power supply input voltage
is set to proper position, usually input voltage is 110V~120V or 220V~240V
depending on your country’s voltage used. In the United States, this is
110V~120V - typically the switch on a computer power supply will be marked
with 115V to indicate this setting.
Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of
your system case according to your system user’s manual.
Turn on your peripherals in the following order:
• Your monitor.
• Other external peripheral (Printer, Scanner, External Modem etc…)
• Your system power. For ATX power supplies, you need to turn on the
power supply and press the ATX power switch on the front side of the
case.
The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light up. The LED on
the monitor may light up or switch between orange and green after the system
is on, if it complies with green standards or if it is has a power standby feature.
The system will then run power-on test.
If you do not see any thing within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the
power. The system may have failed on power-on test. Recheck your jumper
settings and connections or call your retailer for assistance.

codes in addition to displaying the last BIOS operation on the POST code
