Physical Inspection Checklist

Check every item on this list:

• Make sure the terminal and main unit power switches are turned on.

• If the system has power, check the System Controller display for any messages, then

reset the system.

Before you continue, shut down the system and turn off the power.

Verify these connections:

• The terminal cable is connected securely to the rear of the terminal and to the

appropriate connector on the BaseIO panel.

• The terminal power cable is securely connected to the terminal at one end and to the

power source at the other end.

• The keyboard cable is securely connected to the keyboard at one end and to the

terminal at the other end.

• The system power cable is securely installed in the receptacle in the system chassis

and in the proper AC outlet.

• The network cable is connected to the appropriate port and that the key or lock used

to secure the network connection is engaged.

• Serial port cables are securely installed in their corresponding connectors.

When you ﬁnish checking the hardware connections, turn on the power to the main unit

and then to the terminal; then reboot the system. If your system continues to fail, restore

the system software and ﬁles using the procedures described in the IRIX Admin: Backup,

Security, and Accounting manual. If the system fails to respond at all, call your service

organization.
