5.2.4 Helpful Hints
If you encounter some minor problem with your workstation, monitor, or software, refer to the following list of general
suggestions before taking further action.
At Startup
•
Check that the workstation and monitor are plugged into a working electrical outlet.
•
Remove all diskettes from your system before turning it on.
•
Check to see that the workstation is turned on and the green power light is on.
•
If you have installed an operating system other than the factory-installed operating system, check to be sure that it
is supported on your system by visiting
www.hp.com/products/quickspecs
.
•
Check to see that the monitor is turned on and the green monitor light is on.
•
Turn up the brightness and contrast controls of the monitor if the monitor is dim.
•
If your workstation has multiple video sources installed and a single monitor, the monitor must be connected to
the monitor connector on the source selected as the primary VGA adapter. During startup, the other monitor
connectors are disabled; if the monitor is connected into one of these ports, it will not function. You can select the
default VGA source in Computer Setup (F10).
During Operation
•
Look for blinking LEDs on the front of the workstation. The blinking lights are error codes that will help you
diagnose the problem. Refer to section 5.4.3 “Diagnostic Lights and Audible (Beep) Codes” for information on
interpreting diagnostic lights and audible codes.
