Helpful Hints
If you encounter some minor problems with your workstation, monitor,
or software, refer to the following list of general suggestions before
taking further action:
■ Verify that the workstation and monitor are plugged into a
working grounded AC outlet.
■ Verify that the workstation is turned on and the green power light
is on.
■ Verify that the monitor is turned on and the green monitor light is
on.
■ Turn up the brightness and contrast controls of the monitor if the
monitor is dim.
■ Press and hold any key. If the system beeps, your keyboard
should be operating correctly.
■ Check all cable connections for loose or incorrect connections.
■ If necessary, reconfigure your workstation after installing an
expansion board or other option, such as a diskette drive. See the
section "When to Reconfigure the Workstation" in Chapter 4 for
instructions. Also, see the section “Solving Hardware Installation
Problems” in this chapter for more information.
■ Verify that all switch settings have been set correctly.
■ Be sure all the needed device drivers have been installed (for
example, if you are using a printer, you need a printer driver).
■ Take out all diskettes from the diskette drives before you turn on
your system.
