Troubleshooting Solving Hardware Problems Hard Disk Drive Activity LED Doesn't Work If the hard disk drive activity LED does not flicker when the Workstation is accessing the hard disk drive: 1. Make sure the control panel connector is firmly attached to the system board. 2. Ensure the hard disk drive power and SCSI cables are correctly connected as described in "SCSI Hard Drive" on page 169. CD-ROM, DVD or CD-RW Drive Doesn't Work 1. Check that a CD (or DVD) is inserted in the drive. 2. Ensure all cables (data, power and audio) have been properly connected both to the drive and to the system board as described in "CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD" on page 173. 3. Verify that the drive has been detected in the Setup program Advanced menu by displaying the IDE Devices as described in "Advanced Menu" on page 52. You should see a drive declared in the IDE Secondary Master or IDE Secondary Slave field. 4. If you intend to boot from the CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD, place the device before the hard disk drive in the boot order as described in "Boot Menu" on page 57. CD-RW Won't Allow Recording If you can read a CD in your CD-RW, but you can't write to a CD, you may be missing the CD-RW software. If you have a CD-RW in your Workstation, you must install the software that came with the drive before you can write to the device. For more information, refer to the Adaptec Easy CD Creator disc that came with your CD-RW. Chapter 11 209
