Diagnostic Lights

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product

Information Guide.

To help you troubleshoot a problem, your computer has four lights labeled "1," "2," "3," and "4" on the
front or back panel. The lights can be "off" or green. When the computer starts normally, the patterns or
codes on the lights change as the boot process completes. If the POST portion of system boot completes
successfully, all four lights display solid green for a short time, and then turn off.

If the computer malfunctions during the POST process, the pattern displayed on the LEDs may help
identify where in the process the computer halted. If the computer malfunctions after a successful
POST, the diagnostic lights do not indicate the cause of the problem.

NOTE: The orientation of the diagnostic lights may vary depending on the system type. The diagnostic lights can be

either vertically or horizontally oriented.

Beep Codes

Your computer might emit a series of beeps during start-up if the monitor cannot display errors or
problems. This series of beeps, called a beep code, identifies a problem. One possible beep code
(code 1 3-1) consists of one beep, a burst of three beeps, and then one beep. This beep code tells you
that the computer encountered a memory problem.

52 Quick Reference Guide

If your computer beeps during start-up:

1

Write down the beep code.

Using Microsoft Windows XP System Restore

The Microsoft Windows XP operating system provides System Restore to allow you to return your
computer to an earlier operating state (without affecting data files) if changes to the hardware, software,
or other system settings have left the computer in an undesirable operating state. See the Windows Help
and Support Center for information on using System Restore. To access the Windows Help and Support
Center, see "Windows Help and Support Center" on page 6.

3 netværksadapter For at forbinde computeren til et netværk eller bredbåndsenhed, skal du tilslutte den

ene ende af et netværkskabel til enten et netværksstik eller netværks- eller
bredbåndsenheden. Tilslut den anden ende af netværkskablet til netværksadapterens
stik på computerens bagpanel. Et klik angiver, at netværkskablet er blevet forsvarligt sat
i.

OBS! Sæt ikke en telefonledning i netværksstikket.

På computere med et netværkskonnektorkort skal stikket på kortet anvendes.

Det anbefales, at du bruger Cat. 5 kabler og stik til netværket. Hvis du er nødt til at
bruge Cat. 3 kabler, skal netværkshastigheden tvinges op til 10 Mbps for at sikre en
pålidelig drift.

4 aktivitetslys til netværk Det gule lys blinker, når computeren sender eller modtager netværksdata. En stor

mængde netværkstrafik kan få dette lys til at se ud som om, det "lyser" konstant.

5 stik til udgående linje Brug det grønne udgangsstik for at tilslutte et sæt højttalere med forstærker.
6 linie-ind/mikrofonstik Det blå og pink linie ind/mikrofonstik bruges til at tilkoble en optagelses-

/afspilningsenhed, såsom en kassetteafspiller, cd-afspiller eller videobåndoptager. Eller
det kan bruges til en pc-mikrofon til stemme eller musikalsk input til et lyd- eller
telefoniprogram.

7 USB-stik (5) Brug de bageste USB-stik til enheder, som normalt forbliver tilsluttet, som f.eks.

printere og tastaturer.

8 seriel port Tilslut en seriel enhed, som f.eks. en håndholdt enhed, til serielstikket.
9 videostik Hvis du har en DVI-kompatibel skærm, skal kablet fra skærmen sættes ind i det hvide

stik på bagpanelet.

Hvis du har en VGA-skærm, henvises til "Tilslutning af en VGA-skærm" i computerens
Brugervejledning.

10 strøm-stik Stikket til strømadapteren.

Før arbejde inde i computeren

Brug følgende sikkerhedsinstruktioner som hjælp til at sikre din egen sikkerhed og for at beskytte
computeren og arbejdsmiljøet mod potentiel beskadigelse.

FORSIGTIG: Før udførelse af nogle af procedurerne i dette afsnit, skal sikkerhedsinstruktionerne i

Produktinformationsguiden følges.

FORSIGTIG: Komponenter og kort bør behandles varsomt. Rør ikke ved komponenterne eller kortenes

kontaktområder. Hold et kort i kanterne eller i opsætningsrammen. Hold en komponent, som f.eks. en processor i
kanterne, ikke i benene.

BEMÆRK: Kun en certificeret servicetekniker bør foretage reparationer på computeren. Skade på grund af

servicering, som ikke er godkendt af Dell, er ikke dækket af garantien.

BEMÆRK: Når du kobler ledningen fra, bør du trække i forbindelsesstykket eller i aflastningsspiralen, ikke i selve

ledningen. Nogle ledninger har forbindelsesstykker med bøjlelåse; og hvis du er i færd med at koble en sådan
ledning fra, bør du trykke på bøjlelåsene, før du kobler ledningen fra. Når du trækker forbindelsesstykker ud, bør du
sikre dig, at de flugter med stikket for at undgå bøjede ben. Du bør også sikre dig, at begge forbindelsesstykker
flugter hinanden, inden du sætter en ledning i.

Foretag følgende trin før du begynder arbejde inde i computeren for at undgå skade af computeren.

1

Sluk for computeren.

BEMÆRK: For at afbryde et netværkskabel, skal kablet først fjernes fra computeren og derefter fra

netværksstikket i væggen.
