Troubleshooting

Workstation does not power on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to the workstation and a working wall outlet. Check if the power supply switch on the back is in the 'on' position. Try a different power cable if available.

Poor performance or system freezing

Close unnecessary applications. Restart the workstation. Check Task Manager for high resource usage. Ensure the system's vents are clear of dust and obstructions. Consider upgrading RAM or storage if consistently exceeding system capacity.

No display output

Verify that the monitor is powered on and connected correctly to the workstation's DisplayPort. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Try a different cable or port if possible.

Network connectivity issues

Check the Ethernet cable connection at both the workstation and the router/switch. Restart the router/modem and the workstation. Verify network adapter drivers are up to date via Device Manager.

Peripheral devices not working

Disconnect and reconnect the device. Try a different USB port. Ensure the device drivers are installed and up to date. Test the peripheral on another computer if possible.
