Connections

Check that all power and signal cables are securely connected
to the correct port on the computer.

The two serial ports appear identical. If you have a problem,
make sure that the cable is connected to the port you are
trying to use.

Power

Check that the AC power supply is switched on, and that
the fuse in the AC plug (if any) has not blown. If the system
still does not seem to be getting power, obtain another
power cord from your supplier.

Monitor

If there is no display check that the monitor is turned on,
and the brightness and contrast controls are not too low.

Expansion cards

If an expansion card does not work, check that all internal
cables are securely connected, that the card is configured
correctly, that its use of system resources does not conflict
another card or motherboard component, and that legacy
resources (if it is an ISA card) are properly declared in the
BIOS setup utility.

Check also that the software which drives or uses the card is
correctly configured.

System BIOS

Check finally the system BIOS to ensure that it has not been
disturbed from the original settings. a 

Notes

 area is provided

within the ‘

System BIOS and Setup’

 chapter to make a note

of your current or original BIOS settings.

If the settings appear to have altered, there may be a fault
with the CMOS battery. See 

‘System Motherboard’ 

and

BIOS and Setup’
