• Recheck the power cables to see that they are securely plugged in and that your power strip (if you are using one) is plugged in and turned on. • Make sure the monitor is connected to the computer, plugged into the power strip or AC outlet, and turned on. You may also need to adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor. Wait until the startup procedure is finished before loading a diskette in the diskette drive, or the computer may search the diskette for startup information. For more troubleshooting information, see the "Troubleshooting" chapter in Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your E-3200 System.

To see this information on the screen, press TAB during POST. Press ESC to bypass the remaining memory count. The system displays an error message if POST finds any problems. Write down the error message that appears. See the "Troubleshooting" chapter of Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your E-3200 System for a description of error messages. 8 E-3200 User's Guide
