Diskette Drive Problems

Action

Diskette drive In-Use light stays on, or the system bypasses the diskette drive.

If there is a diskette in the drive, verify that:

1.The diskette is good and not damaged. (Try another diskette if you have one.)

2.The diskette is inserted correctly (label up and metal-shutter end first) in the drive.

3.The diskette contains the necessary files to start the system.

4.The system is not in Secure mode.

5.The diskette drive is enabled (check the drive startup sequence setting in the Setup program).

6.Your software program is OK (see the Software Problems troubleshooting chart provided later in this section).

7.Your drive startup sequence is set correctly (check the Boot Sequence setting in the Setup program).

If the diskette drive In-Use light stays on, or the system continues to bypass the diskette drive, have the system serviced.

Monitor Self-Tests

Action

 

Some IBM monitors have their own self-tests. If you

 

suspect a problem with your monitor, refer to the

 

information that comes with the monitor for adjusting

 

and testing instructions.

 

If you still cannot find the problem, have the monitor

 

and system serviced.
