6.Have your fans speeded up in response to a fan that has failed?

7.Are the fan power connectors properly connected to the server board?

8.Is the cable from the front panel board connected to the both the front panel board and to the server board?

9.Are the power supply cables properly connected to the server board?

10.Are there any shorted wires caused by pinched-cables or have power connector plugs been forced into power connector sockets the wrong way?

Diskette Drive Activity Light Does Not Light

Check the following:

1.Are the diskette drive’s power and signal cables properly installed?

2.Are all relevant switches and jumpers on the diskette drive set correctly?

3.Is the diskette drive properly configured?

4.Is the diskette drive activity light always on? If so, the signal cable may be plugged in incorrectly.

If you are using the onboard diskette controller, use the BIOS setup to make sure that “Onboard Floppy” is set to “Enabled.” If you are using an add-in diskette controller, make sure that “Onboard Floppy” is set to “Disabled.”

CD-ROM Drive or DVD-ROM Drive Activity Light Does Not Light

Check the following:

1.Are the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive’s power and signal cables properly installed?

2.Are all relevant switches and jumpers on the drive set correctly?

3.Is the drive properly configured?

Cannot Connect to a Server

1.Make sure the network cable is securely attached to the correct connector at the system back panel.

2.Try a different network cable.

3.Make sure you are using the correct and the current drivers. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the current drivers.

4.Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.

5.Make sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network controller.

6.Make sure the correct networking software is installed.

7.If you are directly connecting two servers (without a hub), you will need a crossover cable.
