•Make sure the monitor is connected to the computer, plugged into the power strip or AC outlet, and turned on. You may also need to adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor.

Wait until the startup procedure is finished before loading a diskette in the diskette drive, or the computer may search the diskette for startup information.
