Checkpoint
codes
track
the
progress
of
POST
routines
at
system
startup
or
reset.
Checkpoint
codes
are
shown
on
the
checkpoint
code
display
on
the
EasyLED
panel.
POST
When
you
turn
on
the
server,
it
performs
a
series
of
tests
to
check
the
operation
of
the
server
components
and
some
optional
devices
in
the
server.
This
series
of
tests
is
called
the
power-on
self-test,
or
POST.
If
a
power-on
password
is
set,
you
must
type
the
password
and
press
Enter,
when
prompted,
for
POST
to
run.
If
POST
detects
a
problem,
one
or
more
beeps
might
sound,
or
an
error
message
is
displayed.
See
for
more
information.
Error
logs
The
POST
error
log
contains
the
three
most
recent
error
codes
and
messages
that
were
generated
during
POST.
The
IMM
system
event
log
contains
messages
that
were
generated
by
the
IMM.
The
system
event
log
is
a
combined
log
that
contains
messages
that
were
generated
during
POST
and
all
system
status
messages
from
the
service
processor
(IMM).
The
system
event
log
and
IMM
system
event
log
are
limited
in
size.
When
each
log
is
full,
new
entries
will
not
overwrite
existing
entries;
therefore,
you
must
periodically
clear
these
logs
through
the
UEFI
Setup
Utility
program.
When
you
are
troubleshooting
an
error,
be
sure
to
clear
both
the
logs
so
that
you
can
find
current
errors
more
easily.
Important:
After
you
complete
a
repair
or
correct
an
error,
clear
the
IMM
system
event
log
to
turn
off
the
system-error
LED
on
the
front
of
the
server.
Entries
that
are
written
to
the
system
event
log
during
the
early
phase
of
POST
show
an
incorrect
date
and
time
as
the
default
time
stamp;
however,
the
date
and
time
are
corrected
as
POST
continues.
Each
system
event
log
entry
appears
on
its
own
page.
To
move
from
one
entry
to
the
next,
use
the
Up
Arrow
and
Down
Arrow
keys.
You
can
view
the
contents
of
the
POST
error
log,
the
system
event
log,
and
the
system
event/error
log
from
the
UEFI
Setup
Utility
program.
When
you
are
troubleshooting
PCI
Express
slots,
note
that
the
error
logs
report
the
PCI
Express
buses
numerically.
The
numerical
assignments
vary
depending
on
the
configuration.
You
can
check
the
assignments
by
running
the
UEFI
Setup
Utility
program.
