
Ensure that the air intakes for the fans are unobstructed.
Memory Issues
If you have installed incompatible memory modules, the system
may not boot. Verify the memory you've installed has been
tested with your board (Please refer to
www.qsscit.com for
details on valid memory). If the installed memory is compatible,
remove and reinstall the memory modules. Defective memory
modules may cause boot errors. To isolate a specific memory
module as defective, boot the system with just one memory
module installed at a time.
Monitor Issues
Monitor configurations can cause boot failure. Run through the
following checklist to verify monitor operation:

Ensure the monitor is plugged in and turned on.

Ensure all cables are connected properly between the
monitor and the computer.

Check the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor
are not too low.
Most monitors employ indicator LEDs showing status. Refer to
the monitor's documentation to confirm operation. If the prob-
lem still persists, try replacing the monitor or test the monitor on
a different AC outlet/different system.
Power Supply, Chassis and Fan Issues

Ensure that the chassis and power supply is appropriate
for system requirement.

Ensure all power cables and connectors are firmly con-
nected to the power supply and the AC outlet.

If the power supply or the AC outlet has an on/off switch,
make sure that it is on and verify that the outlet is supply-
ing current.

Check for foreign objects inside the chassis such as
screws that can short circuit connections.

To isolate a specific PSU as defective, boot the system
with just one PSU installed at a time.

Check fan speed in WEBUI & event log to find out if
there are any defective fans. If failure happens, please
contact your dealer for assistance.
Cable Issues
Ensure that all cable connections, both internal and external,
are attached correctly and securely.
Electrical Short or Overload
Remove non-essential items such as extra controller cards (e.g
SAS 6G Mezz/B, 10G Mezz/B) or HDD devices to check for
shorts and overloads.
