Zenith Data Systems MT2000 manual Resetting the System, Reset button, Power off/on

6-1

This chapter helps you identify and solve problems that may occur during system installation or while using your system. The first section of this chapter tells you how to reset your system in the event of problems. The next few sections provide troubleshooting checklists and procedural steps that help you isolate specific system problems. The last section includes BIOS and system and disk status user information.

Warning: The DC push-button on/off switch on the front panel does not turn off the system AC power. Before doing the procedures in this chapter, make sure that your system is powered off and unplug the AC power cord from the back of the chassis. Failure to disconnect power before opening your system can result in personal injury and equipment damage.

Resetting the System

There are two ways to reset the system:

Reset button

Pushing the reset button clears the system memory, restarts the POST, and reloads the operating system.

Power off/on

Turning the power off and then on with the push- button switch on the front panel has the same effect as pushing the reset button, except that power is halted to all peripherals.
