Table 7-2
Problems Loading and Booting the Operating System
Problem
Solution
The LCD screen is lit,
and text appears on the
screen, but more than
two minutes have passed
with no sign of system
activity.
Make sure that all SCSI devices are set to the proper
SCSI ID. (See Appendix C for default SCSI ID
settings.)
Check that all SCSI devices are correctly cabled.
Check that the SCSI bus is correctly terminated. (See
Chapter 4 for information on SCSI cabling and
termination.)
The system stops or
hangs while booting.
Follow the instructions in “dealing with a boot failure”
later in this chapter.
If the LCD displays a DIMM error, follow the
instructions in “memory failures” later in this chapter.
If problems persist, contact your system administrator or call your designated
service representative.
Table 7-3
Problems with the 802.3 Network
Problem
Solution
Cannot reach other
systems on the network.
Applications that rely on
the network will not run.
Check the network connector on the back of the
system unit. Make sure the network cable or
transceiver is fastened securely to the connector. The
link LED should be lit solid, and the activity LED
should be solid or flashing.
If problems persist, contact your system administrator or call your designated
service representative.
