5. You may then turn on your devices in the following order:

on the power supply as well as press the ATX power switch on the
front of the case.
6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. For ATX
power supplies, the system LED will light when the ATX power switch is

"Green" standards or if it has a power standby feature. The system will then
run power-on tests. While the tests are running, additional messages will ap-
pear on the screen. If you do not see anything within 30 seconds from the time
you turn on the power, the system may have failed a power-on test. Recheck
your jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for assistance.
7. During power-on, hold down the <Delete> key to enter BIOS setup. Follow
the next section "BIOS SOFTWARE" for instructions.

you can press the ATX power switch after exiting or shutting down your oper-
ating system. For Windows 95 users, you can select shut down the computer
from the "Start" button and the system will give three quick beeps after about
30 seconds and power off after windows shut down. NOTE: The message:
"It's now safe to turn off your computer" will not be shown in Windows 95
when using shut down with ATX power supplies.
