Troubleshooting External Connections
Loose or improperly connected cables are the most likely source of problems for the system, monitor, and other peripherals (such as a printer, keyboard,
mouse, or other external device). Ensure that all external cables are securely attached to the external connectors on your system. See
Figure B -1 for the front-
panel connectors and Figure B -2 for the back-panel connectors on your system.
Troubleshooting the Video Subsystem
Problem
l Monitor is not working properly.
l Video memory is faulty.
Action
1. Check the system and power connections to the monitor.
2. Determine whether the system has monitors attached to both the front and rear video connectors.
The system supports only one monitor attached to either the front or rear video connector. When a monitor is connected to the front panel, the back-
panel video, and PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are disabled.
If two monitors are attached to the system, disconnect one monitor. If the problem is not resolved, continue to the next step.
3. Check the system and power connections to the monitor.
4. Run the appropriate online diagnostic test. See " Using Server Administrator Diagnostics " in "Running System Diagnostics."
If the tests run successfully, the problem is not related to video hardware.
If the tests fail, see " Getting Help ."
