4.While the boot routine is running, observe the computer for any of the following:

•Diskette-drive and hard-disk drive access indicator activity

These indicators light in response to data being transferred to or from the drives. If either of these indicators fails to light during the boot rou- tine, troubleshoot the diskette-drive or hard-disk drive subsystem, as appropriate.

•Beep codes

A beep code is a series of beeps that indicates an error condition. If the computer emits a beep code, refer to Table 3-1.

NOTE: The computer beeps once during the boot routine. This single beep is normal and is not a beep code.

•System error messages

These messages can indicate problems or provide status information. If a system error message displays, refer to Table 3-2.

Yes. See “Running the Diagnostics” found later in this chapter. No. Proceed to step 6.

Does the Diagnostics Menu display?

Yes. See “Running the Diagnostics” found later in this chapter.

No. Remove the diagnostics diskette from the diskette drive; then proceed to the next section, “Internal Visual Inspection.”

Internal Visual Inspection

CAUTION: Before you proceed with the internal visual inspection described in this section, ensure that the user has saved all open files and exited all open application programs if possible.

A simple visual inspection of a computer’s interior hardware can often lead to the source of a problem, such as a loose expansion card, cable connector, or mounting screw. When you perform the visual inspection, refer to “System Fea- tures” in Chapter 1 to locate system components.

To perform the internal visual inspection, follow these steps:

1.Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect all the AC power cables from their power sources.
