Hard Disk Drive Activity Light Does Not Light
If you have installed one or more hard disk drives in your system, check the following:
Y
Are the power and signal cables to the drive properly installed?
Y
Are all relevant switches and jumpers on the hard drive and adapter board set correctly?
Y
Is the onboard IDE controller enabled? (IDE hard drives only)
Y
Is the hard disk drive properly configured?
NOTE
Front panel hard disk LED indicates IDE and SCSI devices: the hard
disk drive activity light on the front panel lights when either an IDE hard
disk drive, or a SCSI device controlled by the onboard SCSI host controller,
is in use. This LED does not display CD-ROM activity.

Network Problems
If you have network problems, consult the documentation that came with the network board you
purchased for this server.
PCI Installation Tips
Some common PCI tips are listed here.
Y
Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses specifically for ISA adapters. This
prevents PCI boards from trying to use the same settings ISA boards are using. Use the SSU
to keep track of ISA adapter resources.
Y
Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers. The SSU can
be used to adjust the interrupt numbers for PCI devices. For certain drivers, it may be
necessary to alter settings so that interrupts are not shared.
Y
Check PCI interrupt interdependencies among slots and onboard devices.
