configuration parameter. Enter the BIOS program and check your
configuration settings. The BIOS Setup utility, configuration fields, and the
options for those fields are described in the

Troubleshooting guidelines
As you troubleshoot the system, keep the following guidelines in mind:
• Never remove the system covers while the system is on.
• Do not attempt to open the monitor. It is extremely dangerous.
Even if the monitor power is disconnected, stored energy in the
monitor components can cause a painful or harmful shock.
• If a peripheral such as the keyboard, mouse, drive, or printer does
not work, ensure that all connections are secure.
• If the screen displays an error message, write it down
word-for-word. You may be asked about it when calling technical
support.
• Only qualified personnel should open the system for maintenance.
• If you are qualified to maintain the system yourself, make certain
you are properly grounded before opening the system chassis.
