Figure 51 Server Availability — Wake On LAN screen

Configuring the POST (Power-On-Self-Test) F1 Prompt

Configure the system to display the F1 key in the server POST screen. If an error is encountered,
press the F1 key to continue with the server power-up sequence.

To configure the POST F1 prompt:
1.

From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration

→BIOS/Platform Configuration

(RBSU)

→Server Availability and select POST F1 Prompt and press Enter.

2.

The following options are available:

Delayed 20 Seconds— if an error occurs, the system pauses for 20 seconds at the F1
prompt, and then continues to boot the OS.

Delayed 2 Seconds — if an error occurs, the system pauses for 2 seconds at the F1
prompt, and then continues to boot the OS.

Disabled — if an error occurs, the system bypasses the F1 prompt and continues to boot.

3.

A series of system tests executes during POST before continuing with the following:

If failures occur that allow the system to continue operating, the system continues to boot
and then posts a message.

If critical components fail or are missing, the server attempts to boot. If it can boot, it posts
a message and an F1 prompt.

If the system cannot run with the missing or failed components, it halts until those
components are replaced.

4.

Press F10 to save your selection.
