|
| connector on the server. |
| Running the diagnostic tests can isolate the server component that failed, but you must have your | |||
| system serviced. If the error message remains, call for service. | |||
| Note: |
| If you just connected a new mouse or other pointing device, turn off the server and | |
|
|
| disconnect that device. Wait at least 5 seconds; then, turn on the server. If the error | |
|
|
| message goes away, replace the device. | |
