POST (Power On Self-Test)
When the power button on the front panel is pressed, the server is
turned on and the “POST (Power On Self-Test)” (self-diagnosing
function) is automatically executed. The motherboard,
microprocessor, memory, keyboard and some of the peripheral
devices are automatically checked by the POST.
The following message appears at the bottom of the screen while
the storage capacity of the memory accessed and tested by POST
is displayed:
If the key is pressed following the message, the BIOS setup
utility is started up.
See “System Configuration Setup” on page 148.
NOTE: If the is not pressed or is pressed at the
wrong timing, 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.
See “An error is displayed during POST operation, or POST stops
midway” on page 202.
