Troubleshooting
First steps
Try these steps first before going to the following sections:
• Make sure that the power cords are connected to your server and an AC outlet and that
the AC outlet is supplying power.
• If you use a surge protector or a UPS, make sure that it is turned on and is rated to handle
the power required by your server.
• If you added or removed server components before the problem started, review the
installation procedures you performed and make sure that you followed each instruction.
You may need to remove the device, uninstall the device’s software, then reinstall the
device.

Gateway Customer Care. For instructions, see “Telephone support” on page 64.
• Restart your server, then press F2 at any time after you see the LEDs on your keyboard
flash or turn off. Check your configuration settings.
• When diagnosing problems, press the non-maskable interrupt (NMI) button to put the server
into a halt state. For the location of the button, see “Control panel” on page 2.
• If an error occurs in a program, see its documentation or online help.
