Installation Problems
If your system does not power up correctly after the initial installation of an
external device, a PC card, a new software application, etc., the cause may be
one or more of several minor problems. Problems that occur the first time you
power up are usually installation errors, electrical shorts (i.e. a loose screw
inside the system), an add-in card which is not properly seated or an incorrect
CMOS hardware configuration.
If the system fails when you first start it, review the installation and
configuration process and re-read the applicable sections of this manual. Try
to answer the following questions.
Are all power cables connected correctly and are all the power switches
turned “On?”
Are all the interface cable connections secure and correct?
Are the values listed in the “BIOS Setup” utility correct?
Are the installed memory modules of the correct type? When running
133MHz bus speed, only SDRAM modules with a PC133 specification
can be used in the FlexPAC 2GHz and DDRAM for the FlexPAC 3GHz.

If the installation problem can not be solved by the previously mentioned
measures, try the steps below.
1. Turn the FlexPAC “Off.”
2. Disconnect any external or optional devices from the system unit.
3. Make sure the keyboard is securely connected to the FlexPAC.
4. Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the FlexPAC. Make
sure the other end is plugged into a properly grounded power outlet.
5. Make sure there is not a diskette in the floppy disk drive or a CD in the
CD-ROM.
6. Turn the FlexPAC back “On.”
