The problem seems to be heat related.

• The system unit may be clogged with dust.

2.8 Using the System Utilities Diskette

The menu driven System Utilities diskette (shipped with the
system and required as a Customer Service tool) must be used
when options are added to the system. A language option menu
displays first when the System Utilities diskette is booted. After
a language is selected, an option menu displays. Selecting Setup
from the option menu displays the Setup utility menu. The Setup
utility must be run anytime the following occur:
• The amount of memory in the system is changed.
• Diskette drives are added or removed.
• A different video display board is installed in the system.
• The battery-backed-up date and time are changed.
• The CMOS battery is disconnected or changed.
NOTE
MS-DOS and OS/2 users should use the format command
present in their operating system. Do not use the format
command provided on the System Utilities diskette.

2.8.1 Running the Setup Program

NOTE
If you have installed a new SCSI hard disk drive, format
the drive before you run the Setup utility. See your SCSI
hard disk installation guide.
You need the following information when you run the Setup
utility:
• The type of diskette drive for drive A and optional drive B.
• System base memory size (displayed on the screen at power-
up).
