Apple Workgroup Server 8550 - Manual (Page 94)

You installed a CD-ROM drive after you bought your server and your
server won’t restart after you’ve copied software for your CD-ROM drive
to the System Folder.
m
If you attempt to install software for your CD-ROM drive without using
the Installer, you may not be able to restart your server. Restart the server
while holding down the Shift key (to turn off system extensions) and
then remove any CD-ROM software files you copied by dragging them to
the Trash. Reinstall the software according to the instructions that came
with the drive.
If this procedure doesn’t solve the problem, restart your server using the
Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc that came with your server.
(For instructions on starting your server using a CD-ROM disc, see
“Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” in Chapter 4.)
Your server won’t restart, and a CD-ROM disc is in the CD-ROM drive.
m
Your server may be trying to start up from the CD-ROM disc. Press the
Open/Close button of your CD-ROM drive to open the tray and remove
the CD-ROM disc. Close the tray, then restart your server.
You see an error message at startup telling you that the system will use
the LocalTalk port.
There may be a problem with the cable that connects your server to the
network—it may be loose or damaged. Verify the connection, as described
in the setup guide that came with your server, and restart your server.
The server starts up from the wrong hard disk, or the hard disk icon
does not appear on the desktop.
m
The startup disk may be slow to start up.
During startup, your server’s operating system finds and mounts
attached SCSI devices that are up and running within 20 seconds. Some
very large hard disk drives (such as 2-gigabyte drives) may take longer
than 20 seconds to come up to speed and therefore may not be
recognized by the operating system when the server is first turned on.
Use the Drive Setup program to make the disk available. Drive Setup is
located in the Utilities folder in the Apple Extras folder. For instructions,
see the section “Mounting Volumes” in Chapter 4.
