    Removing the System Board Carefully lift the system board out of the chassis and place it component-side up on a nonconductive, static free surface. Remove the Processor Retention Module. Save this module for installation on the replacement system board. Removing the Processor Retention Module If you are replacing the system board, make a record of the system board jumper settings so you can correctly configure the new board before you install it.

  • Page 111: Static Precautions

    This chapter helps you identify and solve problems that may occur during system installation or while using your system. The first section of this chapter tells you how to reset your system in the event of problems. The next few sections provide troubleshooting checklists and procedural steps that help you isolate specific system problems.

  • Page 112: Troubleshooting Checklists

    Troubleshooting Checklists The following subsections provide troubleshooting checklists for problems that occur at initial system startup, when you run new application software, and after the system hardware and software have been running correctly. Initial System Startup Incorrect installation or configuration usually causes problems that occur at initial system startup. Hardware failure is a less frequent cause.
  • Page 113 n Are the correct device drivers installed? n Is the software correctly configured for the system? n Are you using the software correctly? n If other software runs correctly on the system, contact your vendor about the failing software. If the problems persist with the software, contact the software vendor's customer service representative.

  • Page 114: After System Has Been Running Correctly

    After System Has Been Running Correctly Problems that occur after the system hardware and software have been running correctly often indicate equipment failure. However, many situations that are easy to correct can also cause such problems. If you have problems after the system has been running correctly, check the following: n If you are running the software from a diskette or CD-ROM, try a new copy of the software.

  • Page 115: Additional Troubleshooting Procedures

    Additional Troubleshooting Procedures This section provides a more detailed approach to diagnostic testing and identification of a problem and locating its source.

These general procedures lead you through the following: n Preparing the system for diagnostic testing n Monitoring POST while it is running n Verifying proper operation of key system LEDs...

  • Page 116: Monitoring Post

    Monitoring POST Each time you turn on the system, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) runs automatically and checks the system board, processor board, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test. Depending on the amount of memory, it may take several minutes to complete the memory test.

  • Page 117: Verifying Proper Operation Of Key System Indicators

    Verifying Proper Operation of Key System Indicators As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each mass storage device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity indicator should turn on briefly. Check for the following: n Does the diskette drive activity indicator turn on briefly.

    Standard Configuration Your system is cabled using a dual channel on-board IDE Controller and an on-board Symbios Logic SYM53C875 SCSI Controller. The on-board IDE controller supports the internally mounted CD-ROM as its first (master) device and an optional IDE device as its second (slave) device. The SCSI controller attaches to a 68-pin 16-bit (wide) SCSI connector interface and is capable of supporting a maximum of four 1-inch high SCSI hard disk drives or three 1.6-inch high SCSI hard disk drives.
