System Boots when Installing PCI Card

System Workstation Management features require full-time "standby" power. This means some parts of the system have
power going to them whenever the power cord is plugged in, even if you turned off the system power with the power button
on the front panel. If you install a PCI card with the AC power cord plugged in, a signal may be sent to command the system
to boot. Before installing a PCI card, you must always:
Turn off the workstation power by using the power button on the front of the system.
Unplug the AC power cord(s) from the workstation.

Problems with Newly Installed Application Software

Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the software—not the workstation
hardware. Faulty equipment is unlikely, especially if other software runs correctly.
Check the following:
1. Make sure the system meets the minimum hardware requirements for the software. See the software documentation.
2. Make sure the software is properly installed and configured for the system. See the software documentation.
3. Use only an authorized copy. Unauthorized copies often do not work.
4. If you are running the software from a diskette, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, try a different diskette.
5. Make sure the correct device drivers are installed.
If the problems persist, contact the software vendor's customer service representative.

Problems with Application Software that Ran Correctly Earlier

Problems that occur after the system hardware and software have been running correctly sometimes indicate equipment
failure. However, they can also be caused by file corruption or changes to the software configuration.
Check the following:
1. If you are running the software from a USB floppy disk, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, try a different disk.
