ROUBLESHOOTING
Possible cause
Startup (continued)
Possibly one of the following:
• The system may be taking longer to
boot up in order to finalize installation
of a patch or update.
• The HDD may have fallen to the
bottom of the boot order in the BIOS.
This can happen if the system is
powered on when the HDD is
missing, faulty, or not connected.
• System software may be corrupted.
Suggested action
1. If the slow startup happens following installation of a
software patch or update, shut down, and then restart to
see if the problem persists.
2. If the problem persists, make sure that the HDD is
present and properly connected, and then clear CMOS
(see
page
171). When you reboot the
imagePRESS Server, the HDD will be moved to the top of
the boot order in the BIOS.
3. If the problem persists, reinstall the system software
(see
page
132).
