Actions:
• Verify that all cables and cords are securely connected to the computer and attached devices.
• Verify that when the computer is on, the fan grill is not blocked (there is air flow around the grill), and the
fans are working. If airflow is blocked or the fans are not working, the computer might overheat.
• If SCSI devices are installed, verify that the last external device in each SCSI chain is terminated correctly.
(See your SCSI documentation.)
If these actions do not correct the problem, run the Lenovo Solution Center program. If you need technical
assistance, see “Lenovo Support Web site” on page 32.
