208 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting An error is displayed during POST operation, or POST stops midway Probable causes are the motherboard, CPU, memory or keyboard malfunction, or that the BIOS setup is incompatible. Carry out the following procedure to check the cause of the trouble. If Windows NT/2000 can be used, see "Remedy When Windows NT/2000 is Usable" on page 212. If Windows NT/2000 cannot be used, see "Remedy When Windows NT/2000 is Unusable" on page 213. See "POST (Power On Self-Test)" on page 34. 1 Are the CPU, memory, and keyboard properly connected? See "Installing/removing an optional device" on page 52. 2 Start up the BIOS Setup Utility to check the BIOS setup. See "BIOS setup utility" on page 39. Loading of RAID controller BIOS stops midway Probable causes are that the RAID controller and hard disk drive are not properly connected, or that the RAID configuration is damaged or not built. Carry out the following procedure to check the cause of the trouble. If this does not remedy the problem, see "Remedy When Windows NT/2000 is Unusable" on page 213. 1 Is the RAID controller properly connected? See "Expansion cards" on page 103. See the Software Guide of the RAID controller. 2 Is the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) properly connected? See "Hard Disk Drive (HDD) -IDE HDD-" on page 98. 3 Execute the RAID controller utility to rebuild RAID. All data may be lost if RAID is rebuilt. Do not rebuild RAID if rebuilding is judged to be difficult.
