Appendix D: Troubleshooting 208
Verifying proper operation of key system lights
As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence
of each mass storage device installed in the system. As POST checks
each device, the activity light for that device should turn on briefly.
Check for the following:
• Does the diskette drive activity light turn on briefly? If not, see
"Diskette drive activity light does not light" on page 211.
• Does the hard disk drive activity light on the control panel turn on
briefly? If not, see "Hard drive activity light does not light" on
page 211.
Confirming loading of an operating system
Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt appears on
the screen. The prompt varies according to the operating system. If
the operating system prompt does not appear, see "Initial system
startup" on page 205.
