Turning on the server by the “Remote Management” function

This server has the function that the server can be started up by a
client who is in connection with the network interface.

Installing HarnessEye/web contained in the Toshiba Server Setup
Tool on the client enables packets to be sent from the client to start
up the server.

POST (Power On Self-Test)

When the power/sleep button located on the front panel is pressed
the server is switched 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 being
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. If the key is not pressed, ignoring the mes-
sage, the system continues its 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.

NOTE: Avoid turning the power off during POST processing.
To forcibly end in an emergency, you can turn the power off
by holding the power/sleep button down for four seconds.
