How do I eject the CD-ROM tray with the computer turned off?
There is a mechanical eject button on the CD-ROM drive. Simply insert the tip of
a pen or paperclip and push to eject the CD-ROM tray.
The keyboard does not respond.
Try attaching an external keyboard to the PS/2 connector on the computer’s rear.
If it works, contact your dealer or an authorized service center as the internal
keyboard cable may be loose.
The serial mouse does not work.
Check the following:
• Make sure that the serial cable is plugged securely into the serial port.
• During POST, press F2 to access the Setup Utility. Go to the Onboard Device
Configuration screen and verify that the serial port is enabled. see “Onboard
Device Configuration” on page 83 for details.
I prefer using an external keyboard and mouse, but both have PS/2
connectors and there is only one PS/2 port on the computer.
To connect two PS/2-type devices to the computer, you need to use a PS/2 Y-
bridge connector. see “PS/2 Y-bridge cable” on page 51 for details.
The printer does not work.
Check the following:
• Make sure that the printer is connected to a power outlet and it is turned on.
• Make sure the printer cable is connected securely to the computer’s parallel
port and the corresponding port on the printer.
• During POST, press F2 to access the Setup Utility. Go to the Onboard Device
