Powering On the Workstation
Tip –
If you are installing optional internal components, such as additional memory
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 power to the monitor and to all external devices.
2. Press and release the workstation Power button on the front panel.
See
FIGURE 1-6
(1).
3. After several seconds, verify that the platform power LED next to the Power
button lights.
The platform power LED lights after the workstation begins the internal booting
process. See
FIGURE 1-6
(2) for location of the platform power LED.
4. If you are powering on the workstation for the first time, configure the
preinstalled operating system or install another operating system after the
workstation has finished booting. See
“Setting Up the Software” on page 8
