A serial mouse doesn’t work
See Connecting a Serial Mouse on page 19 for instructions on how to
configure the PowerStation to accept a serial mouse.
A keyboard doesn’t work
1. Check the keyboard. Make sure that you are using an AT or a PS/
2 style keyboard, not an XT-style.
2. If you are using a PS/2 style keyboard, the keyboard should be
plugged into the keyboard port.
3. If you are using an AT style keyboard, make sure the Y cable is
attached to the keyboard port.
4. Try using a new Y adapter cable.
5. Try using a new keyboard.
The Ethernet port doesn’t work
1. Make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in.
2. Make sure that the networking software is loading properly. Verify
that the following lines appear in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and at
least one of the two lines do not have the word “REM” in front of
it as appropriate:
CALL C:\NET\NET.BAT
LH C:\NET\TCPIP.EXE
See Appendix A for information about the command lines that
should appear in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
3. Make sure that you properly configured the networking software.
See Configuring the Ethernet Interface on page 53 of this manual
for a list of the drivers that configure your Ethernet interface.
