m If you see a blinking question mark, you need to install system software on
the server’s hard disk.
To install the Mac OS, see “Installing System Software” in Chapter 4,
“Managing Hard Disks,” of the Workgroup Server Administrator’s Guide.
m If you see anything else on your screen, or if you see nothing at all, see the
next section, “Problems Turning On Your Server?”
Problems turning on your server?
If you don’t see anything on the screen, check these items to see if you can
identify the problem:
m Is the server plugged into a power source? If it is plugged into a power
strip, is the power strip turned on?
m Is the power light on the front panel on?
m Are the keyboard and mouse cables connected correctly? (Don’t disconnect
the keyboard or mouse cables while your server is on. You could damage
your equipment.)
m Is the monitor power cord plugged in?
m Is the monitor turned on? (Check the power light on the front of the
monitor.)
m Is the monitor’s cable attached firmly to both the monitor and server?
m Are the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor adjusted correctly?
