Modem problems

The system does not recognize the modem

A memory chip is faulty

Replace the card with the faulty chip. Third-party
diagnostic programs can help determine which chip or
memory segment is failing.

Probable cause

Solution

The processor was installed
incorrectly

Check the installation. Make sure that the processor
is fully seated in its socket. The processor should be
recognized automatically if it was installed correctly.

The processor speed was not
set correctly in the BIOS Setup
utility

If the server BIOS lets you select the processor
speed, make sure that you have selected the proper
speed.

The system only detected one
processor

Enable the processor retest in the BIOS Setup utility.

Probable cause

Solution

The modem has not been
added as new hardware

Add the modem as new hardware.

The modem is not connected
to a live phone jack

Make sure that the line connected to the modem is
working and plugged into the appropriate port on the
modem (line port).

The telephone line is in use

If the modem shares the jack with another device, make
sure that the other device does not have the port open.

The modem is not configured
with a valid interrupt or
address

Check the system settings for possible conflicts. If one
exists, correct the problem by selecting an available
interrupt and address.
