If you replace the processor, make sure the new processor is
installed correctly, and that the notch on the processor is

aligned correctly on the system board. If you did not align it

correctly, the system won’t start. Also make sure the jumpers

are set correctly for your processor.

For more information, see “Installing Memory Modules

(SIMMs),” “Upgrading the Processor,” and “Changing the

Jumper Settings” in Chapter 4.

You may have installed option cards or drives that exceed the

system’s power limits. Check the power limits listed under

“Option Slot Power Limits” in Appendix A.

You may have installed memory using SIMMs that work at the

Memory Modules [SIMMs],” in Chapter 4.)

Your system may have overheated. If you upgraded the

processor yourself, make sure you have an adequate heat sink

installed.
