Hello

I've just started my first full PC build and assembled the following outside of the case, wanted to check before installing / cabling.

CPU and cooler attached to mobo
RAM installed
Large and small PSU cables to the mobo plugged in
Buzzer / speaker plugged in
Monitor attached

** no HDD, optical, mouse or keyboard attached **

I've powered on by bridging the power connector pins.

I get a single short POST beep.

The monitor very briefly shows what looks to be a splash screen for probably just half a second. I then get the message "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"

Does this all look like I'm doing good up to now and can progress with installing in my case?

Thanks for your time.

Mike

Its been fun so far, hoping the rest is easy from now on.

Thanks

You're at the same place as me (albeit mine is inside my case and passed the test).

I'm not looking forward to sorting out the case cables and trying to keep them tidy.
 
I'm taking pics as I go, will upload them when complete. Its nothing special, a server, trying to do a nice tidy job though. Got 5x HDDs (12.5 Tb in total) to slot in so I'll be thinking of cable management etc.

Got a nice quiet case and aftermarket cooler, going for a quiet build.

Thanks for the support and hope your build goes well Andrew.
