m If you see a system message on the desktop, as shown in the following
figure, your system software is already set up correctly.
Why the message about your network connection? The Workgroup Server
system software is preset for Ethernet networks. When you start up your
server for the first time (before connecting a network cable), you’ll see a
dialog box alerting you that the system temporarily switched the network
connection from built-in EtherTalk (software for Ethernet) to LocalTalk.
However, if you shut down the server and connect to an Ethernet network
later (as described in Chapter 2), the next time you start up, the system will
automatically make the correct network connection for you.
m If you see a blinking question mark, you need to install system software on
the server’s hard disk. (System software is a set of programs the computer
uses to start itself up.)
See “Reinstalling System Software” in Chapter 6 of this book for
information on installing system software.
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?”
