The power indicator on the front panel lights up. After a few
seconds, the computer starts to perform an internal self test.
This is a series of checks the computer completes each time
you turn it on to make sure everything is working correctly. If
anything is wrong, an error message appears on the screen.
After the self test is complete, you see a message on the screen
smiliar to this:

memory. This test takes about 15 seconds to complete.
