•
The system may be taking longer
to boot up to finalize installation of
a patch or update.
•
The hard disk drive may have

Suggested action
1 Recheck all cables and connections.
2 Run Cleanup on the E-85.

3 If the problem persists, restore the backup, or reinstall
system software.
4 If the problem persists, check for a faulty hard disk
drive.
Reboot the system. At the Serial ATA AHCI BIOS
screen on the monitor, wait for the Port-XX displays to
appear and press the Pause/Break key. If a hard disk
drive description appears next to the Port-01, Port-02,
and Port-03 entries, all three hard disk drives are good.
If "No device detected" appears next to:
•
Port-01, the 500GB hard disk drive in the top slot of
the chassis may be faulty.
•
Port-02, the 2TB hard disk drive in the middle slot
may be faulty.
•
Port-03, the 2TB hard disk drive in the bottom slot
may be faulty.
Replace the SATA data cable to the suspected faulty
drive. If the problem persists, replace the faulty drive.
1 If the slow startup happens following installation of a
software patch or update, shut down, and then restart
to see if the problem persists.
2 If the problem persists, make sure that the hard disk
drive is present and properly connected. When you
reboot the E-85, the hard disk drive will be moved to
the top of the boot order in the BIOS.
3 If the problem persists, restore the backup, or reinstall
the system software.
