Checking for Damage

Checking the System for Damage

This section provides instructions on what to do if your system is damaged.

After Dropping It

Obvious damage:

Look for loose cables and obvious damage. If any cables are loose, reconnect them securely. If there is obvious damage to the system, have it serviced.

No obvious damage:

If you see no damage, turn on the system. If it works correctly, the system probably did not suffer any damage.

Note: To avoid personal injury or damage to your system, observe all safety and electrostatic precautions listed in “Safety Information” on page v and the PC Server 704 Safety Information booklet.

If it does not work correctly, turn off the system and check the adapters and memory modules to ensure that they are seated correctly. See Chapter 4, “Installing Options” on page 73 and follow the instructions for opening your system; then, reseat all adapters and memory modules.

If the system still does not work correctly, start the test programs and test the system. See “Starting the Test Programs” on page 225 for instructions.
