If a power-on password has been established, type the password and press the Enter key. If the password is not known, clear the password. 2. Run Computer Checkup. 3. Turn off the computer and its external devices. 4. Disconnect any external devices that you do not want to test. Do not disconnect the printer if you want to test it or use it to log error messages.
5. Install loopback plugs in the serial and parallel connectors if you would like to test these ports. 6. Ensure the hard drive is installed in the computer. 7. Ensure that the battery pack is inserted in the computer and the computer is connected to an external AC power source. When the preliminary steps are completed, you are ready to run POST.
