Suggested action
v Make sure that the server supports the ServerGuide program and has a startable
(bootable) CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM) drive.
v If the startup (boot) sequence settings have been altered, ensure that the CD-ROM
drive is first in the startup sequence.
v If more than one CD-ROM drive is installed, ensure that only one drive is set as the
primary drive. Start the CD from the primary drive.
v Make sure that there are no duplicate SCSI IDs or IRQ assignments.
v Make sure that the hard disk drive is connected correctly.
Make more space available on the hard disk.
Make sure that the operating-system CD is supported by the ServerGuide program. See
the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD label for a list of supported operating-system
versions.
Make sure that the operating-system CD is supported on your server. If the operating
system is supported, either there is no logical drive defined (SCSI RAID systems) or the
ServerGuide System Partition is not present. Run the ServerGuide program and make
sure that setup is complete.
