Tutoring and training
Gateway's Customer Care professionals cannot provide hardware and software training. Instead,
Gateway recommends the following training resources.
Safety guidelines
While troubleshooting your server, follow these safety guidelines:
•
Never remove the top panel while your server is turned on and while the modem cable
and the power cords are connected.
•
Do not attempt to open the monitor. To do so is extremely dangerous. Even if the power
is disconnected, energy stored in the monitor components can be dangerous. Also, opening
the monitor voids its warranty.
•
Make sure that you are grounded correctly before opening the server. For more information
about preventing damage from static electricity, see
“Preventing static electricity
•
After you complete any maintenance task where you have to open the server case, make
sure that you close the case and reconnect all cables before you restart your server.
Error messages
These messages often indicate procedural errors such as typing an incorrect keystroke or trying
to save a file to a write-protected diskette. Some messages, however, may indicate a problem
that requires further troubleshooting.
Memory messages

message is usually followed by other information concerning the device.
