Apple Workgroup Server 8150/110 User Manual
Page 74
A disk icon with a blinking question mark appeared when you started your server.
The blinking question mark indicates that your server cannot find system
software. You may need to repair a damaged disk, or reinstall system software.
m Your server may be having a problem recognizing a SCSI device. Turn off
external SCSI devices and restart.
If the server starts up after you turn off your SCSI devices, read the section
on SCSI devices in Chapter 3 of this manual for information on connecting
SCSI devices and assigning SCSI ID numbers.
m The system software is not installed on the startup hard disk, the system
software is damaged, or the hard disk is not working properly. Start up your
server with the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc (see “Starting Up
From the CD-ROM Drive” later in this chapter). Then refer to “Repairing a
Damaged Disk” at the end of this chapter.
If repairing the disk doesn’t help, follow the instructions in “Reinstalling
System Software” (later in this chapter).
A disk icon with an X appeared and the floppy disk was ejected.
Your server ejected a floppy disk that is not a startup disk.
m Wait a few seconds. The server should start up from its internal hard disk.
Make sure you insert floppy disks only after the server has begun starting up.
