Advisories

System Start-UP

When turning on your system for the first time, you must prepare the system for use. When the system is turned on or restarted a short program in ROM starts the process of loading programs into memory and then executing these programs. These start-up programs perform diagnostic tests that check major hardware components, such as memory and interface circuits. It compares the hardware it finds with parameters last saved by the Setup utility. This process is the Power-On Self-Test (POST).

Memory Test Acceleration

To accelerate the memory test during POST press Ctrl+Alt+T.

Power Button Override

The system power button does not respond immediately during certain phases in POST. However, the power button will respond if it is held down for at least 4 seconds. The system should power down on the 5th second.
