1.5 Powering On the Workstation
Tip – If you are installing optional internal components such as additional DIMMs,
PCI cards, optical drives, or hard drives, install those components before you power
on the workstation. If you are not installing optional components, you are ready to
power on the workstation.
1. Turn on the power to the monitor and to all external devices.
2. Turn the power switch on the rear of the workstation to the On ( | ) position.
3. Press and release the workstation Power button on the front panel (see FIGURE 1-3).
4. After several seconds, verify that the platform power LED next to the Power
button lights.
The platform power LED on the Power button lights after the workstation begins the
internal booting process (see FIGURE 1-3).
5. If you are powering on the workstation for the first time, install the operating
system or configure the preinstalled operating system after the system is finished
booting.
