Incorrect characters are displayed
Complete the following steps:
1. Verify that the language and locality settings are correct for the keyboard and operating system.
2. If the wrong language is displayed, update the server firmware to the latest level. See
Screen is blank
1. If the server is attached to a KVM switch, bypass the KVM switch to eliminate it as a possible cause of
the problem: connect the monitor cable directly to the correct connector on the rear of the server.
2. If the server installed with the graphical adapters while turning on the server, the Lenovo logo displays
on the screen after approximately 3 minutes. This is normal operation while the system loads.
3. Make sure that:
• The server is turned on and there is power supplied to the server.
• The monitor cables are connected correctly.
• The monitor is turned on and the brightness and contrast controls are adjusted correctly.
4. Make sure that the correct server is controlling the monitor, if applicable.
5. Make sure that the video output is not affected by corrupted server firmware; see
.
6. If the problem remains, contact Lenovo Support.
