Troubleshooting
2 Inspect the inside of the FC Solo. For more information, see Figure 5 on page 20 and Figure 6 on page 21.
Make sure that no foreign materials have been dropped into the chassis.
•
Make sure that the power leads are attached to the connector panel power switch.
•
Make sure that the DVD and hard disk drive data cables are connected to the correct SATA connectors on the
motherboard.
•
Look for obviously loose boards and reseat each board securely in its connector on the motherboard.
•
Look for obviously loose cables and reseat each cable connector firmly.
•
Make sure that each connector is properly aligned with its mating connector. If the pins are offset from each
other, the affected board will not function properly.
3 Reassemble the FC Solo and verify its functionality (see page 50 ).
Inspecting the system
If the system you are servicing does not meet a condition listed in Table 2 and it is not obvious what action(s) you
should take to fix the problem (for example, if the system hangs before reaching Idle), locate the symptom in
“Table 4: FC Solo error messages and conditions” on page 63 and perform the suggested action(s) for the condition.
WARNING
If your initial checks of the cable and board connections do not fix the problem, you may need to
inspect the system on a component-by-component basis, as described in “Table 2: Verifying the
system.” A comprehensive inspection allows you to verify that each hardware component is properly
installed and configured, and helps you avoid replacing expensive components unnecessarily.
