Bootable CD-ROM Is Not Detected

Check the following:
!
Is the BIOS set to allow the CD-ROM to be the first bootable device? Check your
BIOS Setup (F2) configuration.
!
Is the peripheral bay fully seated against the chassis?

Problems with the Network

Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails:
!
Make sure the network cable is securely attached.
The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed:
!
Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller.
!
Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure your
operating system supports shared interrupts; OS/2 does not.
!
Try reseating the add-in adapter.
The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause.
!
Try reseating the adapter first; then try a different slot if necessary.
!
The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the
drivers.
!
Run the diagnostics.
If you continue to have network problems, consult the documentation that came with
the network board you purchased for this server.

PCI Installation Tips

Some common PCI tips are listed here.
!
Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers.
The SSU can be used to adjust the interrupt numbers for PCI devices. For certain
drivers, it may be necessary to alter settings so that interrupts are not shared.
!
Check PCI interrupt interdependencies among slots and onboard devices.
