The flashing lights are error codes that will help you diagnose the problem. Refer to Interpreting POST Diagnostic Front Panel LEDs and Audible Codes on page 19 in this guide for details. ● If there is a keyboard connected to the system, press and hold any key. If the system beeps, then the keyboard should be operating correctly. ● Check all cable connections for loose connections or incorrect connections. ● Wake the computer by pressing the power button.
