Checking Startup Sequence and Hard Disk Drive

1.  Start the computer from the Reference Diskette and select Set Features from the  Main Menu.
2.  Select Set Startup Sequence and see if the default  hard disk  (usually drive 6) is in the startup sequence. If you receive an error message, follow the  instructions on the screen, then return here.
3.  If the default drive is in the startup sequence, exit from the screen and the Main Menu, then  go to step 5. If the default drive if not  in the startup sequence, follow the instructions  on the screen, then continue with step 4.
4.  Remove the Reference Diskette, power-off the computer, then power-on the computer. If the 'F1'  (Insert Diskette) icon appears on the screen, this means no operating system was found. Go to step 5.  If the 'Not OK' icon appears on the screen, this means that the system cannot access the System Partition.  Try updating the system programs. If you need assistance, see 'Updating the System Programs'.
5.  Either install an operating system on a device that is in the startup sequence, or change the startup  sequence to include a device that has an operating system, then power-on the computer, check for the  normal power-up sequence and then run the advanced diagnostics test. If the problem still exists, suspect the  SCSI controller, then the hard disk drive.
