Aptiva - 2134/2176 Diagnostics - Factory installed drive devices
Applicable to: World-Wide
Use this check procedure to test any factory-installed drives.
Attention: The customer may have customized settings in the Setup Utility (other than default settings) on the computer you are servicing. Running the Setup Utility might alter those settings. Note the current settings and verify that the customer settings are in place when service is complete.
Note: If you cannot access the hard disk drive or load a diskette from drive A or load a CD from the CD-ROM drive, make sure the Setup Utility has the startup sequence set with Diskette, CD-ROM, and Hard Disk enabled.
Insert the Diagnostics and Utilities CD in the CD-ROM drive. Refer to Step 006 of "Diagnostics and Utilities Device Presence Test" 
to check Hardware Configuration.
If the number of diskette drives shown in the Installed Devices list is not correct:
1. Check the installation of the drive ribbon cable to the system board.
2. Check the voltages to the diskette drive with the power on (see "Power Supply" ).
3. Try to correct the drive setting in the (SETUP) option in the Setup Utility.
4. Run the "Diagnostics and Utilities Device Presence Test" .
If you can correct the Installed Devices list, but cannot complete the Diagnostics and Utilities test for that device, replace FRUs, in the following order, until the problem goes away:
1. Diskette drive cable (if continuity check fails)
2. Diskette drive
3. System board
If the number of hard disk drives, CD-ROM, or Zip drives shown in the Installed Devices list is not correct:
1. Check the installation of the drive ribbon cable to the system board. Be sure that Hard Disk Drive 1 and Hard Disk Drive 2 in the Setup Utility are connected to the primary hard disk drive connector J9 on the Type A-1 system board, and J5 on the Type A-2 system board.
2. Check the hard disk drive jumper settings (see ôParts/Test Point Locationsö on page 5-1 of the HMM).
3. Check the voltages to the disk drive power connectors with the power on (see "Power Supply" ).
4. Try to correct the drive setting in the 3 (SETUP) option in the Setup Utility.
5. Run the "Diagnostics and Utilities Device Presence Test" for hard disk drives and CD-ROM drive.
6. Restart the system and check the Setup Utility.
7. In the Setup Utility, check that the correct drive size is set for the flagged drive shown in the Installed Devices list.
If any drive is flagged as Not Installed, check the signal and power cable for that drive.
If the first drive is flagged as Not Installed, replace the primary drive.
If all drives are flagged as Not Installed, replace the primary drive.
If any drive (other than the first drive) is flagged as Not Installed, replace that drive.
If the problem remains, check the continuity on the drive cable and replace the cable if necessary. If that does not fix the problem, replace the system board.
8. If an upgrade processor is installed, make sure that the processor speed shown is correct.
Note: The CD-ROM must be the last device installed and jumpers set correctly to be listed in the Setup Utility. See "Hard Disk Drive Jumper Settings" for factory-installed drive device jumper settings and "CD-ROM Drive Jumper Settings" . Also ensure the CD-ROM cable is installed in connector J10 on the Type A-1 system board and in connector J6 on the Type A-2 system board.
For Aptiva models that come with an internal Zip drive, the CD-ROM drive is jumpered as slave.
If any other adapter or device is flagged as Not Installed , run the Setup program.
Check to see if any adapter or device is set to a conflicting address with any
other adapter or device. Also be sure that any adapter or device missing
from the list is not set to Disabled.
Note: If you cannot add a missing adapter or device to the list, the diagnostic code for the missing adapter or device is not on the diagnostic CD. Run the diagnostics provided with that device.
Zip Drive
The factory installed Zip drive operates in the same manner as a hard drive. The Zip drive, in the Setup Utility, will display as a hard disk drive with a capacity of 100 MB.
The Zip drive is jumpered as Master. See "Zip Drive" for jumper settings. The following drive initialization information must be entered in the CMOS only when configuring the Zip drive as the boot drive.
Cylinders = 512
Heads = 12
Sectors per Track = 32
Refer to "Diagnostics for Factory-Installed Drive Devices Not Supported by the Diagnostics and Utilities CD" to check the factory-installed Zip drive.
Service for external Zip drives shipped with the Aptiva is handled by the Zip drive manufacturer.
