Troubleshooting
Workstation does not power on
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the workstation and a functioning power outlet. Check if the power supply unit switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.
Slow performance or system lag
Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for resource-intensive processes. Ensure the system has sufficient free storage space. Restart the workstation.
No display output
Verify that the monitor cable is securely connected to both the workstation and the monitor. Ensure the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source. Try connecting to a different DisplayPort or using a different cable.
Network connectivity issues
Check that the Ethernet cable is properly plugged in. Restart your router and modem. Verify your network adapter settings in Windows. Try connecting via Wi-Fi if available, or test with a different Ethernet cable.
