Starting Your PC

1Before you start your PC, first switch on the display.

2Start your PC in one of these ways:

Press the power button on the front panel.

Press the keyboard space bar.

The keyboard power-on feature will work only if it is enabled in the Setup program (refer to page 66) and the system board switch 8 is CLOSED (refer to page 62).

When you switch on the computer, it carries out the Power-On-Self- Test (POST) while the Vectra logo is displayed. If you wish to view

the POST details, press to get the HP Summary Screen. If there is an error in the POST, the error will automatically be displayed. For details, refer to "If a POST Error Message is Displayed", on page 47.

3If you have set a password in the PC’s Setup program, the password prompt displays after the POST has completed. If the Password

prompt is displayed, type your password and press to be able to use the PC.
