About System Basics
This section explains the base level procedures for setting up, navigating, and understanding
how to operate your console.
Power Up the Console
1. Attach the appropriate power cable to the IEC connector on the rear of the console.
2. Press the I/O switch (I is “on”) next to the IEC connector on the rear of the console to
turn power on. This will provide power to all internal electronics.
3. Press the power button, located on the face panel. The button LED will illuminate blue to
indicate the console is running. The console will boot to the launch screen. The system is
now ready for use.
