Before removing the side and front panels of the Fiery Server to check internal components, 
eliminate the most obvious sources of problems. Make sure that:

• All interface cables to the system are plugged into the proper connectors

(see 

• The power cable is plugged into the wall power outlet.

• The LED on the network port is blinking to indicate network activity.

To check the internal components, you must remove the side and front panels of the Fiery 
Server.

Before you remove the Fiery Server panels, be aware of the safety precautions that you should 
take when handling the Fiery Server. Use standard ESD precautions when handling printed 
circuit boards and electronic components. To review the safety precautions, see 

• Make sure that no foreign materials have been dropped into the chassis. 

• Make sure that the DVD and hard disk drive data cables are connected to the correct 

SATA connectors on the motherboard.

• Look for obviously loose boards and reseat each board securely in its connector on 

the motherboard. 

• Look for obviously loose cables and reseat each cable connector firmly.

• Make sure that each connector is properly aligned with its mating connector. If the pins 

are offset from each other, the affected board will not function properly. 

If your initial checks of the cable and board connections do not fix the problem, you 
may need to inspect the system on a component-by-component basis, as described in 

 A comprehensive inspection allows you to verify that each 

hardware component is properly installed and configured, and helps you avoid replacing 
expensive components unnecessarily. 

If the system you are servicing does not meet a condition listed in 

, and it is not 

obvious what action(s) you should take to fix the problem (for example, if the system hangs 
before reaching Idle), locate the symptom in 

 and perform the suggested action(s) for the condition.

Verifying the system

When the problem occurs, verify that: 

• Power cable is connected properly into the power outlet.

• Chassis fans are operating.

• Network link activity LED on RJ-45 connector is blinking.

• All external cables required are present, in correct connectors, 

and well-seated.

• Cables, cable connectors, and mating connectors appear undamaged.

External connectors, chassis fans, and power button, 

 and 

If the problem occurs at power up or reboot, verify that:

• Activity light on the control panel illuminates.

• Display window lights up.

• The system does not hang, and no error messages occur 

before the systems reaches Idle.

• After the system reaches Idle, the control panel buttons function.

• All replaceable parts are: 

– Present
– Properly aligned
– Installed securely

– Not visibly damaged

• Chassis and contents have not been tampered with.

• Chassis does not contain any foreign objects.
