Troubleshooting Diskette Drive Problems The 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 in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. For instructions on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program" on page 28. 2. The server is checking for the diskette drive in the startup sequence. Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to verify this. 3. The diskette is good and not damaged. (Try 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 system (the diskette must be startable). 6. The diskette drive cable is properly installed and securely connected. 7. Your software program is OK. See Software Problems at the end of these troubleshooting charts. If the diskette drive in-use light stays on, or the system continues to bypass the diskette drive, have the system serviced. Monitor Self-Tests General monitor problems. Action Some IBM monitors have their own self-tests. If you suspect a problem with your monitor, refer to the information that comes with the monitor for adjusting and testing instructions. If you still cannot find the problem, check the Monitor Problems troubleshooting chart for possible solutions. If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the monitor and system serviced. 160 Netfinity 3500 User's Handbook
