TROUBLESHOOTING SCENARIOS AND SOLUTIONS 129
Solution
1 Run Computer Setup.
2 If the system still does not recognize the new device,
check to see if the device is listed within Computer
Setup. If it is listed, the probable cause is a driver
problem. If it is not listed, the probable cause is a
hardware problem.
3 If this is a newly installed drive, enter Setup and try
adding a POST delay under Advanced>Power-On.
If the drive is a secondary drive that has just been installed
on the same cable as the primary drive, verify that the
jumpers for both drives are set correctly.
Run Computer Setup and enable the Primary and
Secondary IDE (ATA) controllers in Storage>Storage
Options.
Run Computer Setup and increase the POST Delay in
Advanced>Power-On Options.
Remove the diskette from the diskette drive.
1 Insert a bootable diskette into the diskette drive and
restart the workstation.
2 If the hard drive is still inaccessible and MBR Security
is enabled, try restoring the previously saved
MBR image by entering Setup and selecting
Security>Restore Master Boot Record.
1 Insert a bootable system diskette and restart.
2 Verify hard drive is partitioned and formatted.
3 Install system files for the appropriate operating
system if necessary.
Run Computer Setup and enable the hard drive entry in
the Storage>Boot Order list.
Reinstall the second Ultra ATA hard drive using an 80-
conductor cable (standard on select models.)
Connect slower UATA devices to a separate data cable
connected to the secondary IDE (ATA) controller.
Observe the beeps and LED lights on the front of the
workstation. Refer to "Power On Self Test (POST) and
Error Messages" on page 143.
