Undetermined Problems
If an error code, error message or error beeps is
present, go to “Index of Symptoms, Messages, Error
Codes, or Beeps” on page 38. If you did not receive
any messages, error codes, or beeps, see if the
symptom is listed in “Table 2-3 Error Symptoms List”
on page 45. If you still cannot solve the problem,
continue with this check:

Supply Connectors and Voltages” on page 111). If
the voltages are correct, return here and continue
