Solving Problems

Wired Connections

If the network connection is lost — The cable is loose or damaged.

Check the cable to ensure it is plugged in and not damaged.

The link integrity and network activity lights on the integrated network connector let you verify that your connection is working and provide information on the status:

No activity — Both the link integrity and network activity lights are off.

10 Mbs — The link integrity light is off and the network activity light is blinking yellow.

100 Mbs — The link integrity light is green and the network activity light is blinking yellow.

1000 Mbs — The link integrity light is orange and the network activity light is blinking yellow.

NOTE: The link integrity light on the network connector is only for the wired cable connection. The link integrity light does not provide status for wireless connections.

Power Problems

If the power light is off — The computer is either turned off or is not receiving power.

Reseat the power cable into both the power connector on the computer and the electrical outlet.

If the computer is plugged into a power strip, ensure that the power strip is plugged into an electrical outlet and that the power strip is turned on. Also bypass power protection devices, power strips, and power extension cables to verify that the computer turns on properly.
