Power On Self-Test (POST)
When the power switch on the front panel is pressed after the DC operate
switch on the back of the server was turned on (DC operate switch is mounted
only in the EPS-R model), the server is turned on and the “POST (Power On
Self-Test)” (self-diagnosing function) is automatically executed. The mother
board, microprocessor, memory, keyboard and some of the peripheral devices
are automatically checked by the POST. During the memory test, the storage
capacity of the memory that is accessed and tested by the POST is shown on the
display.
The following message appears on the display depending on the setup status of
the system.
If the key is pressed following the message, the BIOS setup utility is
started up. If the key is not pressed ignoring the message, the system
continues the startup operation.
If an error is detected by the POST, the operator is warned about it in one of the
two different ways depending on the kind of the error; one is by buzzer sound
(beep code) in mid course of testing and the other is by an error code and error
message appearing on the display after the POST is complete.
