Table 4-1. Start-Up Routine Indications (continued) Look/listen for: An unfamiliar constant scraping or grinding sound when you access a drive. Action See "Getting Help" on page 139. Checking the Equipment This section provides troubleshooting procedures for external devices attached to the system, such as the monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Before you perform any of the procedures, see "Troubleshooting External Connections" on page 104. Troubleshooting External Connections Loose or improperly connected cables are the most likely source of problems for the system, monitor, and other peripherals (such as a printer, keyboard, mouse, or other external device). Ensure that all external cables are securely attached to the external connectors on your system. See Figure 1-2 for the back-panel connectors on your system. Troubleshooting the Video Subsystem Problem • Monitor is not working properly. • Video memory is faulty. Action 1 Check the system and power connections to the monitor. 2 Determine whether the system has an expansion card with a video output connector. In this system configuration, the monitor cable should normally be connected to the connector on the expansion card, not to the system's integrated video connector. 104 Troubleshooting Your System
