• If you are using a surge protector, make sure that it is plugged in
and turned on.
• Make sure that the wall outlet is supplying power. For example,
plug a lamp into the outlet and turn it on.
• Make sure that the red voltage switch (located on the back of the
power supply) is set to the correct voltage setting. The setting for
the United States is 115 V. The setting for Europe and other

components, such as extra drives, then try again.
• If the power supply is very hot, check the case fans and the power
supply fan. Replace any faulty case fans, then try again.
