Troubleshooting
Diskette drive problems Action
The diskette drive in-use
light stays on, or the
system bypasses the
diskette drive. If there is a diskette in the drive, verify that:
1. The diskette drive is enabled in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. For
instructions on using the Configuration/Setup
Utility program, see “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 39.
2. The server is checking for the diskette drive in the
startup sequence. Use the Configuration/Setup
Utility program to verify this.
3. The diskette is good and not damaged. (Try
another diskette if you have one.)
4. The diskette is inserted correctly, with its label up
and its metal-shutter end first in the drive.
5. The diskette contains the necessary files to start the
system (the diskette must be startable).
6. The diskette drive cable is properly installed and
securely connected.
7. Your software program is OK. See Software
Problems at the end of these troubleshooting
charts.
If the diskette drive in-use light stays on, or the system
continues to bypass the diskette drive, have the system
serviced.
Monitor self-tests Action
General monitor
problems. Some IBM monitors have their own self-tests. If you
suspect a problem with your monitor, refer to the
information that comes with the monitor for adjusting
and testing instructions.
If you still cannot find the problem, check the Monitor
Problems
troubleshooting chart for possible solutions.
If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have
the monitor and system serviced.
