Observing the Boot Routine

NOTE:

Most steps in this procedure require observation of system functions and indications, some of which can occur

simultaneously. You may need to reboot the system several times to complete all of these steps.

1. If the system is off, turn on all peripherals and the system. If the system is on, reboot the system.

2. During the boot routine, observe the system for any of the following indications:

Beep codes indicate an error condition. See "

System Beep Codes

."

System error messages indicate problems or provide status information. See "

System Messages

."

Drive indicators light when data is transferred to or from the drives. If a drive indicator fails to light during the

boot routine, troubleshoot the appropriate drive subsystem.

Three indicators on the upper-right corner of the keyboard should flash momentarily.

If the indicators flashed, proceed to the next step.

If the indicators did not flash, replace the keyboard with a keyboard that you know works. If the problem

persists, troubleshoot the system power supply. If the troubleshooting procedure indicates that the system power

supply is working, troubleshoot the memory. See the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

3. Observe the power-supply indicators.

If the fault indicator(s) is lit, troubleshoot the system power supply. See the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
