System Boots When Installing PCI Card
System Server Management features require full-time “standby” power. This means some
parts of the system have power going to them whenever the power cord is plugged in,
even if you have turned the system power off with the power button on the front panel. If
you install a PCI card with the AC power cord plugged in, a signal may be sent to
command the system to boot. Before installing a PCI card, you should always:
• Turn off the server power by using the power button on the front of the system.
• Unplug the AC power cord(s) from the server.
Problems with Newly Installed Application Software
Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the
software-not the server hardware. Faulty equipment is unlikely, especially if other
software runs correctly.
Check the following:
• Make sure the system meets the minimum hardware requirements for the software.
See the software documentation.
• Make sure the software is properly installed and configured for the system. See the
software documentation.
• Use only an authorized copy. Unauthorized copies often do not work.
• If you are running the software from a diskette, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, try a
different disk.
• Make sure the correct device drivers are installed.
If problems persist, contact the software vendor's customer service representative.
Problems with Application Software that Ran Correctly
Earlier
Problems that occur after the system hardware and software have been running correctly
sometimes indicate equipment failure. However, the problems are sometimes caused by
file corruption or changes to the software configuration.
Check the following:
• If you are running the software from a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, try a different
device.
• Uninstall and reinstall the software. Make sure all necessary files are installed.
• If the problems are intermittent, there may be a loose cable, dirt in the keyboard (if
keyboard input is incorrect), a marginal power supply, or other random component
failures.
