switch on the outlet box is turned on.
4. Plug a different electrical device (such as a printer) into the power outlet,
and turn it on.
5. Unplug the power cord, wait 20 seconds, plug the power cord in again, and
restart the system.

Message Utility. If the suggested solutions do not solve the problem,
contact HP or your reseller.

If the System Passes POST, but Does Not Function
