Troubleshooting external connections
Before troubleshooting any external devices, ensure that all external cables are securely attached to the external connectors on your
system.
• Compare the technical specification of the system with the external device to check the compatibility.
• Check the external device functionality with some other similar system so that we are sure that the device is working fine.
• Check any other similar external device with this system so that we are sure that the system port is working fine.

Troubleshooting the video subsystem
Prerequisites
Steps
1. Check the cable connections (power and display) to the monitor.
2. Check the video interface cabling from the system to the monitor.
3. Run the LCD Built-in Self Test (BIST).

Troubleshooting a USB device
Prerequisites
NOTE:
Follow steps 1 to 6 to troubleshoot a USB keyboard or mouse. For other USB devices, go to step 7.
Steps
1. Disconnect the keyboard and/or mouse cables from the system and reconnect them.
2. If the problem persists, connect the keyboard and/or mouse to another USB port on the system.
3. If the problem is resolved, restart the system, enter System Setup, and check if the non-functioning USB ports are enabled.
NOTE:
Older operating systems may not support USB 3.0.
4. If the problem is not resolved, replace the keyboard and/or mouse with a known working keyboard or mouse.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to troubleshoot other USB devices attached to the system.
5. Turn off all attached USB devices, and disconnect them from the system.
6. Restart the system.
7. If your keyboard is functioning, enter System Setup, verify that all USB ports are enabled on the Integrated Devices screen. If your
keyboard is not functioning, use remote access to enable or disable the USB options.
8. Check if USB 3.0 is enabled in System Setup. If it is enabled, disable it and restart your system.
9. If the system is not accessible, reset the NVRAM_CLR jumper inside your system and restore the BIOS to the default settings. See
the System board jumper setting section
10. Reconnect and turn on each USB device one at a time.
11. If a USB device causes the same problem, turn off the device, replace the USB cable with a known good cable, and turn on the device.
