Diskette Drive Problems Diskette drive in-use light stays on, or the system bypasses the diskette drive. Action If there is a diskette in the drive, verify that: 1. The diskette drive is enabled. Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to check the setting. For instructions, refer to Chapter 5, "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 61. 2. The computer is checking for the diskette drive in the startup sequence. Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to verify this. 3. The diskette you are using is good and not damaged. Try inserting another diskette if you have one. 4. The diskette is inserted correctly, with its label up and its metal-shutter end first in the drive. 5. The diskette contains the necessary files to start the computer (the diskette must be startable). 6. The diskette drive cable is properly installed and securely connected. 7. There is no problem with your software program (see Software Problem on page 135). If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the computer serviced. Monitor Problems General monitor problems. Action Some IBM monitors have their own self-tests. If you suspect a problem with your monitor, refer to the information supplied with the monitor for adjustment and testing instructions. If you cannot find the problem, check the other listings on monitor problems in this table. If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the monitor and computer serviced. Chapter 7.
