m Is the monitor power cord plugged in?
m Is the monitor cable attached firmly to the monitor port (™) on your computer and to
the monitor?
m Is the monitor turned on? (Check the power-on light on the front of the monitor.)
m Is the brightness control on the monitor adjusted correctly? On most monitors, the
brightness control is marked with the symbol (¤). Many monitors also have a reset
button that can help (see the monitor instruction manual).
If you see a blinking question mark on the monitor screen or hear a series of beeps when
you turn on the computer:
1 Force the computer to restart by using the restart button on the front of the enclosure.
2 Insert the system software CD that came with your computer.
3 Hold down the C key while restarting the computer to force the computer to start up from
the CD.
4 Use the Drive Setup program on the CD to determine whether all the drives on your system
can be seen.
m If they cannot be seen, double-check cable connections and ID settings.
m If they can be seen, use the System Disk Control Panel application to set the startup
drive to the UFS partition on your Mac OS X Server software.
5 For details about disk partitioning, see the Mac OS X Server Installation Manual.
Problems With an Apple USB Mouse or Keyboard
m If you suspect a mouse problem, clean your apple USB mouse. For more information
about cleaning your mouse, see “Cleaning the Mouse” on page 76. Then plug the mouse
into an open USB port on your computer. If the mouse works, then you may have a
problem with the keyboard. If the mouse doesn’t work, borrow an Apple USB mouse
from another computer and connect it to yours. If that solves the problem, you may need
to repair your mouse. Consult an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.
m If you suspect a keyboard problem, borrow an Apple USB keyboard from another
computer and connect it to yours. If that solves the problem, you may need to repair your
keyboard. Consult an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.
