  • Page 126: 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.

  • Page 127: Running New Application Software

    Running New Application Software Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the software. Faulty equipment is much less likely, especially if other software runs correctly. If you have problems while running new application software, check the following checklist.

  • Page 128: 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 checklist.

  • Page 129: Diagnostic Procedures

    Diagnostic Procedures This section provides a more detailed approach to diagnosing and identifying problems and then locating their sources. Error Checking Each time you turn on the system, POST (Power-On-Self-Test) runs automatically and checks all boards, processors, keyboard, and mouse. If POST finds an error, it displays an error message.

  • Page 130: Monitoring Post

    Monitoring POST Each time you turn on the system, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) runs automatically and checks the CPU modules, PCI modules, keyboard, mouse, and most installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test.

    No Characters Appear on Screen Check the following: Is the keyboard working? Check to see if the Num Lock light is functioning. Is the video display monitor plugged in and turned on? Many modern video monitors shut down when inactive and may require a moment to warm up when activated. Are the brightness and contrast controls on the video monitor properly adjusted? Are the video monitor switch settings correct? Is the video monitor signal cable properly installed?

    Diskette Drive Activity LED Does Not Light Check the following: Are the diskette drive's power and signal cables properly installed? Are all relevant switches and jumpers on the diskette drive set correctly? Is the diskette drive properly configured? Is the diskette drive activity light always on? If so, the signal cable may be plugged in incorrectly.
