NEC LC1400 manual Powering On Your System

Powering On Your System

Power on your system as follows.

1.Make sure all external devices, such as a video display, keyboard, and mouse (optional) have been connected, and the power cords are connected.

2.Power on the video display and any other external devices.

3.Press the push-button power on/off switch on the front panel. Verify that the system power-on LED is lit. If it is not lit, ensure the ac power cords are connected to a functional ac power source.

After a few seconds your system begins the internal Power-On Self Tests (POST). POST automatically checks the system board, CPU module, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.

CAUTION

Always allow POST to complete before powering down your system.

CAUTION

The server management logic on your system board monitors and logs system voltage changes. When powering down your system you may experience a 1–5 second delay from the time you press the push-button power on/off switch on the front panel and your system powering down. This is normal system operation and is required by the server management logic.

If you have problems powering on your system, refer to Problem Solving in Chapter 5 of this User’s Guide.

After you have successfully powered on your system, insert the

EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM into the CD-ROM device, reboot the system and follow the screen prompts to run EXPRESSBUILDER.
