162 Solving Problems
Problems with Application Software
If you have problems with application software, do the following:
Verify that the software is properly configured for the system. See the software installation
and operation documentation for instructions on setting up and using the software.
Try a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the copy you are using.
Make sure all cables are installed correctly.
Verify that the I/O carrier switches are set correctly. See “Configuration Switches” on
page 182.
If other software runs correctly on the system, contact your vendor about the failing software.
If the problem persists, contact the software vendor’s customer service representative for
assistance.
Bootable CD-ROM Is Not Detected
Check the following:
Is BIOS set to allow the CD-ROM to be the first bootable device?
Is the peripheral bay fully seated against the chassis?
Error and Informational Messages
When you turn on the system, POST displays messages that provide information about the system.
If a failure occurs, POST emits beep codes that indicate errors in hardware, software, or firmware.
If POST can display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as
the message appears.
