If a monitor is not connected or the system is unable to display an
error, an error beep code sounds.
•
If the system encounters an error, it is most likely a nonfatal one,
meaning the system will function until the error can be corrected
(usually through the BIOS Setup).
Quick check
If the system does not operate correctly, re-read the instructions for any
procedure(s) you have performed. If an error occurs within an application,
consult the documentation supplied with the software.
This section identifies solutions to common problems. If the suggestions in
this section are not helpful, try looking up the problem in the

and Troubleshooting the ALR 7300 Server . In the event of a problem, the
following checks should be performed:
Looking things over
Sometimes, the simplest things can cause trouble. To avoid unnecessary
service calls, be sure you check over the basics before you call for support.
In any complex system, there is potential for a forgotten connection, a
forgotten switch or a loose connector. Before powering up the system,
perform the following checks:
•
Is the power cord connected to the system unit and an AC outlet?
•
Is the AC outlet supplying power?
•
If you are using a power strip, is it turned on? Is the circuit breaker
set?
•
Does the voltage selection switch on the system power supply
reflect the proper voltage?
Verifying the configuration
If the system is not operating correctly, the BIOS may contain an invalid
configuration parameter. Enter the BIOS Setup program and check the
configuration settings.
Important!
Under no circumstances
return any equipment
