Troubleshooting

The power indicator on this server lights with the power cord connected to the AC outlet or while the server is in the power save mode in the case of Windows 2000.

See “System status indicators” on page 14/page 114/page 128.

See “HDD/LAN status indicators” on page 19/page 115.

The disk and STS indicators light and flash amber

A probable cause is that a hard disk drive connected to the RAID controller is malfunctioning. If Windows NT/2000 can be used after checking from the lit state of the disk status indicators which hard disk drive is malfunctioning, see “Remedy When Windows NT/2000 is Usable” on page 212.

If Windows NT/2000 cannot be used, see “Remedy When Windows NT/2000 is Unusable” on page 213.

See “HDD/LAN status indicators” on page 19/page 115.

See “Hard Disk Drive (HDD) –IDEHDD–” on page 98.

The fault indicator lights amber

A probable cause is that the cooling fan or power unit is malfunc- tioning. Check whether or not Windows NT/2000 is usable. If Windows NT/2000 can be used, see “Remedy When Windows NT/2000 is Usable” on page 212.

If Windows NT/2000 cannot be used, see “Remedy When Windows NT/2000 is Unusable” on page 213.

See “System status indicators” on page 14/page 114/page 128.

See “Power Supply Unit” on page 69.

The FDD indicator does not light

Probable causes are that the floppy disk drive unit signal cable is not properly connected, or that the floppy disk drive unit itself is malfunctioning. Check the signal cable connections. If this does not remedy the problem, see “Remedy When Windows NT/2000 is Unusable” on page 213.
