Notes: 1. Turn on all external devices, such as the monitor, before turning on the computer. 2. The power-on LED on the front of the computer is lit when the computer is on and while it is being turned on. Approximately 20 seconds after the computer is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active, and you can turn on the computer and start the operating system by pressing the power-control button. The computer can also be turned on any of the following ways: v If a power failure occurs while the computer is turned on, the computer will restart automatically when power is restored. v When you connect the computer to power for the first time, the Wake on LAN® feature can turn on the computer. If the computer was previously turned on, it must be properly turned off for the Wake on LAN feature to turn on the computer. Running the operating-system setup program If you are starting the computer for the first time, the setup program runs automatically when you start the computer. The program will prompt you to make choices or type information. If you need more detailed information than is provided in this Installation Guide, see the operating-system documentation. Important: 1. After turning on the computer for the first time, you must complete the operating-system setup procedure before turning off the computer; otherwise, unexpected results might occur. 2. The setup program might be slightly different from the one that is described in the operating-system documentation. Some choices do not appear because they are preset. 3. During the setup procedure, you must indicate that you accept the license agreement. 4. For Windows operating systems, the registration information is already displayed in the registration field. If the product ID number is not already displayed, you must type it. The product ID is on a label that is attached to the computer. You will need the following information to complete the setup program in Windows operating systems: v The documentation that comes with the computer. v Network information from the network administrator, if the computer is being connected to a network. v The printer model and port, if a printer is attached directly to the computer. After the setup procedure is completed and the computer restarts, the desktop opens. The computer is ready for use. Turning off the computer When you turn off the computer and leave it connected to ac power, the computer can respond to requests, such as a remote request to turn on the computer. To remove all power from the computer, you must disconnect it from the power source. 12 IBM IntelliStation M Pro Type 6218: Installation Guide
