For additional information to help you solve problems, see “Start here”on page 127.If you have just added new software or a new optional device and the server isnot working, complete the following steps before you use the troubleshootingtables:Procedure1. Check the system-error LED on the operator information panel; if it is lit, checkthe light path diagnostics LEDs (see “Light path diagnostics” on page 134).2.
