System Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Checklist Before running any of the diagnostic utilities, go through the following checklist to find possible solutions for workstation or software problems. • Are the workstation and monitor connected to a working electrical outlet? • Is the workstation turned on? • Is the green power light illuminated? • Is the monitor turned on? • Is the green monitor light illuminated? • Turn up the monitor brightness and contrast controls if the monitor is dim. • Press and hold any key. If the system beeps, then the keyboard is operating correctly. • Check all cables for loose or incorrect connections. • Reconfigure the workstation after installing a non-PnP expansion board or other option, such as a diskette drive. • Are all of the necessary device drivers installed? • Have all printer drivers been installed for each application? • Remove all diskettes and CDs from the drives before you turn on the system. • Are you running the latest BIOS version, drivers, and software updates?
