Setting Up the System 2-9
2.3.2 Turning On the System Power
To power on the system, press the power switch on the front panel.
The system starts up and displays a welcome message, then a series
of power-on self-test (POST) messages on the LCD display screen.
The POST messages indicate if the system is running well or failed
any of the tests. See Table 1-1 for a list of the LCD messages.
If the system does not turn on or boot after
pressing the power switch, go to the next
section for the possible causes of the boot
failure.

Aside from the self-test messages, you can determine if the system is
in good condition by checking if the following occurred:

• Power, Num Lock, and Caps Lock LED indicators on the
keyboard light up
