Understanding the power-on self-test

When you turn on your server, the power-on self-test (POST) routine checks the server
memory and components. If POST finds any problems, the server displays error messages.
Write down any error messages that you see, then see

“Error messages” on page 195

and

“Post error beep codes” on page 199

for troubleshooting information.
