Possible Reasons
The Next Step
Video cable may not be properly
connected.
Switches may not be correctly set on
the system board.
If an optional video board was
installed, the monitor cable may not
be correctly connected.
The monitor may be connected to the
wrong video connector.
Expansion boards or DIMMs may not
be properly connected or seated.
1. Be sure that the monitor has power and that the
monitor cable is securely connected. If more than one
video adapter is installed, make sure that the monitor
is connected to the correct video board.
2. Be sure that the monitor is functional by connecting it
to a known working server.
3. Be sure that the switch settings on the system board
are correctly set.
4. Power down the server. Reseat all expansion boards,
DIMMs, processors, and PPMs. Reseat all cable
connections.
Refer to Chapter 3, “Installing Hardware Options,” for
bezel and side panel removal.
5. Restart the server.
6. Listen for audible indicators, such as a series of
beeps. A series of beeps indicates the presence of a
POST error message.
7. Monitor the diagnostic LEDs on the system board for
failure conditions.
8. If these steps do not correct the problem, contact an
authorized service provider for further technical
support.
