Troubleshooting
7. Observe the system's startup sequence. Your system should complete each of the
steps described in "Typical Startup Sequence, " earlier in this section. If the
system does not complete a step, the component activated during that step may be
faulty. For example, if the Floppy Disk LED does not light, you may have a bad
floppy disk drive. For more on how to resolve problems of this sort, see
"Common Problems, " later in this section. When you have fixed the problem,
return to step 1.
8. If the system issues any error messages during the startup sequence, take the
appropriate corrective action. For suggestions, see "Common Problems, " later in
this section. When you have fixed the problem, return to step 1.
Note: If the system only issues a beep code, or the message does not tell you
enough to isolate the problem, contact your Unisys Customer Service
Engineer.
9. If you isolate the problem to a specific device, repair or replace the device in
question. When you have fixed the problem, return to step 1.
10. If you plan to store your operating system on a hard disk drive, partition and
format the hard disk drive appropriately. For instructions, see the operating
system manuals. Load the operating system from the drive.
11. Select each hard disk drive partition in turn to verify that all partitions can be
accessed. If you cannot access the drive, the drive may be incorrectly partitioned
or configured. For more information, see your operating system documentation
and Section 2 of this guide.
12. If you were experiencing problems with a particular program, try running that
program. If the problem recurs, see the software documentation for instructions
on setting up program parameters. You can also try disabling cache memory and
BIOS shadowing.
When your system passes all of the steps just described, you can consider the
troubleshooting process complete. Be sure to turn off your system and reconnect any
devices that you disconnected during your troubleshooting effort.
