Your PC can be started in two ways:

When you start the computer, switch on the display first. When you
switch on the computer, the computer carries out the Power-On-Self-

automatically be displayed.
If you have set a password in the PC's Setup program, the password
prompt displays after the POST has completed. If the Password prompt
