Turning on the system

After making sure that you have properly set up the system and 
connected all the required cables, you can now power on the system.

To power on the system, press the power button on the front control 
panel. 

The system starts up and displays a welcome message on the monitor. 
After that, a series of power-on self-test (POST) messages appears. At 
the BIOS splash screen, the System Options menu can be accessed by 
pressing a key on the keyboard. For more information on how to use 
the System Options menu, see “System options menu” on page 90. 

Note: If the system does not turn on or boot after pressing the 
power button, go to the next section for the possible causes of the 
boot failure.

The POST messages indicate if the system is running well or not. If the 
POST finds any problems, the system will emit a beep code followed by 
an error message displayed on the monitor. Aside from the POST 
messages, you can determine if the system is in good condition by 
checking if the following occurred:

Power indicator on the front panel lights up (green)

Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock indicators on the keyboard 
light up
