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.
