Hardware diagnostic testing
This section provides a detailed approach to identifying a hardware
problem and its cause.
Checking the boot-up status
Caution:
Before disconnecting any peripheral cables from the
server, turn off the system and any peripheral devices. Failure to
do so can cause permanent damage to the system and/or the
peripheral device.
1
Turn off the system and all external peripheral devices.
2
Disconnect all peripheral devices from the system, except for the
keyboard and the monitor.
3
Make sure the system power cord is plugged into a properly
grounded AC outlet and in the power cable socket.
4
Make sure both the monitor and the keyboard are correctly
connected to the system.
5
Turn on the monitor.
6
Set the display brightness and contrast controls to at least two
thirds of their maximum range.
Refer the documentation that came with your monitor.
7
If the operating system normally loads from the hard drive, make
sure there is no diskette in the FDD and no disc in the ODD.
8
If the power indicator is lit, attempt to boot from a floppy diskette
or from a disc.
9
Turn on the system.
If the power indicator did not light up, see the "Power indicator
does not light" item on page 90.
