If you still have a problem, try the following:

m

If the hard disk is external, make sure it is turned on and its cable is

connected firmly and properly terminated; then restart the server.

m

Check the ID numbers of all SCSI equipment connected to your server.
See the information on SCSI devices in the setup guide that came with
your server.

m

If the hard disk is your startup disk, start up your server with the
Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc (see “Starting Up From a CD-
ROM Disc” in Chapter 4). Then see “Solving Hard Disk Problems” (later
in this chapter). If repairing the disk doesn’t help, follow the instructions
in “Installing System Software” in Chapter 4.

IMPORTANT

If the hard disk in question has been initialized for use with

Apple RAID volumes, you won’t see an icon for it on the desktop until you
create at least one RAID volume on that disk.

The server’s clock keeps time inaccurately.

m

Your server has a clock that runs continuously. When the server is turned
off, a battery keeps the clock running. If your clock begins to keep time
inaccurately, have your Apple-authorized service provider replace the
battery. 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.

Icons do not appear correctly on your screen.

You need to “rebuild the desktop”—a process that helps your server keep
track of files and folders on your hard disks. For instructions, see “Rebuild
Your Desktop” earlier in this chapter.
