Try the solutions in the order given. If you cannot correct the problem, contact your
service representative or authorized dealer.
Check the following:
•
Are all the power supplies plugged in? Is the power turned on to the power strip or
outlet? Do you have a blown fuse or breaker?
•
Is the system functioning normally? If so, the power LED may be defective, the
cable from the front panel to the fan board may be loose, or the cable from the fan
board to the baseboard may be loose.
If all items are correct and problems persist, contact your service representative or
authorized dealer.
If the system operates normally, but there was no beep, the speaker may be defective. If
the speaker is enabled, but the speaker does not function, contact your service
representative or authorized dealer.
Record the beep code emitted by POST, and see "Error and Informational Messages" on
