NAS QT, the system can be started. Therefore connect a monitor to the VGA connection on the
back of the actidata system. There are USB 3.0 interfaces for keyboard and mouse on the back.
After the system has been connected to power, the system can be put into operation. Set the
power supply on the rear to ON. The actidata system starts the power-on routines by pressing
the power-on switch on the front.
