Apple Workgroup Server 8550 - Manual (Page 93)

m
The system software is not installed on the startup hard disk, the system
software is damaged, or the hard disk is not working properly. Start up
your server with the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc (see
“Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” in Chapter 4). Then refer to “Solving
Hard Disk Problems” at the end of this chapter.
If repairing the disk doesn’t help, follow the instructions in “Installing
System Software” in Chapter 4.
A disk icon with an X appeared and the floppy disk was ejected.
Your server ejected a floppy disk that is not a startup disk.
m
Wait a few seconds. The server should start up from its internal hard
disk. Make sure you insert floppy disks only after the server has begun
starting up.
A “sad Macintosh” icon appeared and the server won’t start up.
Your server cannot start up because of a problem with the system software
or the server hardware.
m
Eject any floppy disks (or CD-ROM discs) by turning off the server and
then holding down the mouse button while you turn the server on again.
Try starting up with a different startup disk (such as the Workgroup Server
Software CD-ROM disc). If the “sad Macintosh” icon appears again,
consult the service and support information that came with your server for
instructions on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or
Apple for assistance.
You hear a prolonged beep during the startup process.
Sometimes during heavy network traffic, a server may not start up correctly.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable before you try to start up again, and reconnect it
after the server starts up. Open the AppleTalk control panel to make sure that
Ethernet is still selected.
