Troubleshooting
Option Problems Action
An IBM option that used
to work does not work
now. Verify that all of the option hardware and cable
connections are secure.
If the option comes with its own test instructions, use
those instructions to test the option.
If the items above are correct and the test programs
found no problem, have the server and option serviced.
If the failing option is a SCSI option, verify that:
1. The cables for all external SCSI options are
connected correctly.
2. The last option in each SCSI chain, or the end of
the SCSI cable, is terminated correctly.
3. Any external SCSI option is turned on. You must
turn on an external SCSI option before turning on
the system.
For more information, see your SCSI documentation.
If the problem recurs, have the system serviced.
An IBM option that was
just installed does not
work. Verify that:
1. The option is designed for the system.
2. You followed the installation instructions supplied
with the option.
3. The option is installed correctly.
4. You have not loosened any other installed options
or cables.
5. You updated the configuration information in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. Whenever
memory or an option is changed, you must update
the configuration.
Parallel Port Problems Action
The number of parallel
ports displayed is less
than the number of
parallel ports installed. Verify that:
1. Each port is assigned a unique address.
2. The parallel-port adapter, if you installed one, is
seated properly.
If the items above are correct, have the system serviced.
