The master boot record is corrupted
■ In a Windows network operating system, repair the master boot record
using FDISK.
To repair the master boot record:
■ At a DOS command prompt, type fdisk/mbr, then press ENTER.
Keyboard
Liquid has been spilled into the keyboard
■ If you spilled liquid in the keyboard, turn off your server and unplug the
keyboard. Clean the keyboard and turn it upside down to drain it. Let the
keyboard dry before using it again. If the keyboard does not work after it
dries, you may need to replace it. This type of damage is not covered by
your server’s warranty.
Memory
Memory errors were detected during server start up
■ Open your server and make sure that the memory modules are installed
correctly. For instructions, see “Installing memory” on page 86.
■ A memory module may be defective. If possible, try another memory
module and see if the error repeats.
Caution Modules must be installed in identical groups of four. Use
only PC1600 (DDR-200) or PC2100 (DDR-266) compliant,
SDRAM registered ECC, DIMM memory modules.
Install memory first into Bank 1, Bank 2, then Bank 3. If
memory is installed incorrectly, your server will not start.
Partially filled banks are ignored by the server.
For the most reliable and stable operation, we recommend
you use memory from the same manufacturer in all
memory banks.
