Troubleshooting
This chapter helps you identify problems that may occur while your server is in use and
suggests solutions.

Identifying a Problem

To isolate a failure, it may be necessary to disconnect all peripheral devices connected to
the server, except the keyboard and the monitor.
1 If a critical fault condition exists or you are disconnecting peripheral devices
connected to the server, shut down the operating system and power off the server
and peripherals.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect server cables and/or any connected peripheral
devices while the server is on. Disconnecting these cables and/or devices while the
server is on can cause irreparable damage to the server and peripherals.
2 Make certain that the server and monitor power cords are connected correctly to
grounded AC outlets.
3 Check that the keyboard and the monitor are connected correctly to the server.
4 Turn on the monitor and adjust the brightness and contrast levels to two-thirds or
more of their maximum values.
5 Make sure the floppy disk drive is empty.
6 Press the Power button to turn on the server.
The server starts running and the Power indicator light is green. If the power
indicator does not turn green, see The Power Indicator Does Not Light
