READ THE FOLLOWING: Human Error is a cause for concern when ap plied to check procedures. It
exists in every first time set of analysis procedur e s. It is therefore essential for effective an d t im e-ef f i c ient s e rvicing that each stage of every procedure be verif ied. (For exam pl e : When a sympt o m is found, or when a symptom appears t o h ave bee n cured; the prece d ing steps should be repe ated f o r accuracy o f analysis.)

CAUTION:
POST:
On Self Test (POST). The machine performs t he P O ST each time it is powered on. Use this information throughout the diagnos t ic p roc e d u r es . The POST is a series of system check s and initial izations t hat ver ify the correct operation of the base system.
After a successful POST, the system attempts to load operating system. The system can be customized for different startup (boot) methods by the BIOS Setup Utility. Startup Options” on page 21.
The system' s de fault st artup sequ en ce automat ically looks for the operating system files in the hard disk if these files are not found in the diskette.
WARNING:
When you have deemed it necessary to replace a FRU, and have done so, you must run a total system check to ensure that no other activity ha s been affe cted by the chang e. T hi s s y stem check can be done through the di agnostics program (Select Diagnos tics , then select and execute All Tests from PC-Doctor).

Troubleshooting

Failing Parts or Assemblies:
a problem to one part or assembly. The last step of the specific check procedure you are using indicates that a part or as s e mbly is failing. You should inspect the part or assembly before you decide to replace it. It might be loose, dirty, or in need of a small repair. The check procedures might lead you to two, or even three, possible failing pa rts or assemblie s . The parts that might be failing are listed in o r de r of the most probable failure. Also, the FRU parts are defined as replaced units and are not repaired in the field.
Measuring Voltag es:
voltages on cable plugs and electronic board connectors. If you are asked to measure voltag e a t sever al p l aces on a p l ug or connector, a chart next to or near the instruction i nd i c ates the number o f the pl ug or connector, the pin numbers you should measure, the signal nam e, a nd the correct voltage for the condition you are measuring. Measure the voltage only at the pins listed in the chart. Remember t o set the mete r o n the correct scale an d to put the meter leads in the correct position for the voltag e you are a sked to measure.
NOTE:
Use frame ground as the ground ref e re n ce. Attach th e black (ground)
lead of me t e r to fr a me ground, except where specified otherwise.
