If the Hard Disk Activity Light Does Not Work
If the hard disk activity light does not flicker when the PC is accessing the hard disk drive:
•
Check that the control panel connector is firmly attached to the system board.
•
Check that the disk power and data cables are correctly connected.
NOTE
IF THE CD-ROM DRIVE DOES NOT WORK
•
Check that the cables have been properly connected.
•
Check that a CD is inserted in the drive.
•
Verify that the CD-ROM is declared as "CD" in the Setup program (refer to IDE Devices
Submenu (Configuration group) in chapter 3).
•
Verify that the Bus IDE Adapters item is set to Both in Setup (refer to IDE Devices
Submenu (Configuration group) in chapter 3).
If you intend to boot on CD-ROM, make sure that this option is enabled in Setup (refer to
•
Start-up Center Submenu (Security group) in chapter 3).

For further information refer to the CD-ROM documentation.
IF AN ACCESSORY BOARD DOES NOT WORK
Carry out the following checks:
•
Ensure the board has been firmly installed in the accessory board slot.
•
Check that the accessory board has been correctly configured with the ISA Configuration
Utility if necessary.
•
Ensure the board is not using memory, I/O addresses, an IRQ, or DMA also used by the
PC. Refer to "IRQs, DMAs, and I/O Addresses Used by Your PC". Refer to the board's
manual for further details.
When using Windows 3.11, you can obtain information about the current use of IRQs by
the PC by typing MSD at the MS-DOS prompt, and pressing [ENTER]. If you are using
Windows 95, use the Device Manager.
•
Check that the PC has been configured correctly in Setup.
•
If the problem persists, refer to chapter 6, Hewlett Packard Support and Information
Services, for information about where to obtain support.
If you are using a hard disk drive with a controller
board (a SCSI hard disk, for example), the activity
