162 Solving Problems
Problems with Application Software
If you have problems with application software, do the following:
• Verify that the software is properly configured for the system. See the software installation
and operation documentation for instructions on setting up and using the software.
• Try a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the copy you are using.
• Make sure all cables are installed correctly.
• Verify that the I/O carrier switches are set correctly. See “Configuration Switches” on
page 182.
• If other software runs correctly on the system, contact your vendor about the failing software.
• If the problem persists, contact the software vendor’s customer service representative for
assistance.
Bootable CD-ROM Is Not Detected
Check the following:
• Is BIOS set to allow the CD-ROM to be the first bootable device?
• Is the peripheral bay fully seated against the chassis?
Error and Informational Messages
When you turn on the system, POST displays messages that provide information about the system.
If a failure occurs, POST emits beep codes that indicate errors in hardware, software, or firmware.
If POST can display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as
the message appears.
