  1.  Power-off the computer and all external devices.
  2.  Check all cables and power cords.
  3.  Make sure there are no diskettes in the drives.
  4.  Set all display controls to the middle position.
  5.  Power-on all the external devices.
  6.  Power-on the computer.
 

Notes:

  1.  On some computers, two tamper-evident switches are installed on the  adapter guide located at the lower-left front of the system unit frame.  Both switches must be in the 'up' or 'on' position to supply power to  the system. (Move the blue slider up until it contacts the metal actuator  arms of the two switches. The switches 'click' when activated.)  If the switches fail to activate, they must be adjusted or replaced. To  adjust the switches, remove the adapter guide with the switches from the  system unit. Form the actuator arms so the switches activate when the  slider is moved up half the distance of its travel.
  2.  If you get a POST error code, press the pause key (while the error  code is on the screen). Write down any error codes that are displayed,  then press F1 to continue.
  3.  If the computer hangs with a POST error, go to SYMPTOM-to-FRU Index (MC)   Micro Channel'.
  4.  On some Model 95 computers, the customer has the ability to suppress  the Press F1 for Setup and Diagnostic prompt. If the prompt does not appear,  continue wit this MAP.

- Check for the following responses:

  1.  One or two short beeps.
  2.  Readable instructions or the Main Menu.
