5 Troubleshooting Your PC
If Your PC Has a Hardware Problem
If the Hard Disk Does Not Work
1 Check that the disk power and data cables are correctly connected.
2 Check that the hard disk drive has been enabled and detected on the
Hard Disk menu in Setup. There is also an option on the Setup
Security menu which allows you to disable or enable boot on hard
disk drive.
3 Check that the on-board Bus IDE is enabled if you are using the on-
board IDE controller.
If the Hard Disk Activity Light Does Not Work
If you are using a hard disk drive with a controller board (a SCSI hard
disk, for example), the activity light does not flicker when the PC is
accessing the hard disk drive.
If the hard disk activity light does not flicker when the PC is accessing
the hard disk drive:
1 Check that the control panel connector is firmly attached to the
system board.
2 Check that the disk power and data cables are correctly connected.
If the CD-ROM Drive Does Not Work
1 Check that the cables have been properly connected.
2 Check that a CD is inserted in the drive.
3 Verify that the CD-ROM is declared as “CD” in Setup on the Hard
Disk Drives menu.
4 Verify that the On-board Bus IDE Adapters item is set to Both
in Setup.
5 If you intend to boot on CD-ROM, make sure that this option is
enabled in Setup on the Security menu.
6 For further information refer to the CD-ROM documentation.
