4.3 Troubleshooting

Probable Solution

1. There is no power in the system. Power

LED does not shine; the fan of the power supply does not work

2. Indicator light on keyboard does not shine.

1. Make sure power cable is securely plugged in.

3. Contact technical support.

System is inoperative. Keyboard lights are on, power indicator lights are lit, and hard drives are running.

System does not boot from a hard disk drive, but can be booted from optical drive.

System only boots from an optical drive.

Hard disks can be read, applications can be used, but system fails to boot from a hard disk.

Screen message shows “Invalid

Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”

System cannot boot after user installs a second hard drive.

Using even pressure on both ends of the

DIMM, press down firmly until the module snaps into place.

1. Check cable running from disk to disk controller board. Make sure both ends are securely plugged in; check the drive type in the standard CMOS setup.

2. Backing up the hard drive is extremely important. All hard disks are capable of breaking down at any time.

1. Back up data and applications files.

2. Reformat the hard drive. Re-install applications and data using backup disks.

Review system’s equipment. Make sure correct information is in setup.

1. Set master/slave jumpers correctly.

2. Run SETUP program and select correct drive types. Call the drive manufacturers for compatibility with other drives.
