Troubleshooting 83
The diskette drive LED illuminates continuously.
An adapter card is not recognized by the system.
Printer problems
The printer will not turn on.
Probable Cause Solution
The diskette is corrupted. Remove the diskette from the drive. If the light
remains on, try restarting the system.
The cable to the drive is
not connected properly.
Open the system and check the cable between the
diskette drive and the controller. Make certain the
pins are not bent or misaligned.
Probable Cause Solution
The interrupt and/or I/O
address is set incorrectly.
Check the address configuration of the adapter
card and ensure that it does not conflict with
another card in the system.
The card has not been
configured through
software (e.g., the EISA
configuration utility).
Configure the card with the appropriate software.
The card was not installed
correctly.
Reseat the card and make certain that its jumpers
are configured appropriately.
Probable Cause Solution
The printer is not plugged
in.
Check the power cable. Make certain it is plugged
into a live power source.
The printer is not turned
on.
Make certain the printer power switch is on. If
power is applied to the printer, the green power
LED should be on.
The printer is defective. Try another printer, if one is available.
