Verifying Proper Operation of Key System Indicators

As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each mass

storage device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity indicator

should turn on briefly. Check for the following:

! Does the diskette drive activity indicator turn on briefly? If not, refer to “Diskette

Drive Activity Indicator Does Not Light” in this chapter.

! If there is a hard disk drive or SCSI devices installed in the system, does the hard

disk drive activity indicator turn on briefly? If not, refer to Hard Disk Drive Activity

Indicator Does Not Light in this chapter.

Confirming Loading of the Operating System

Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt appears on the screen. The

prompt varies according to the operating system. If the operating system prompt does

not appear, refer to Problems with Application Software found later in this chapter.
