Power-On-Self-Test
Before you can use a server, all devices must be tested and initialized, and the operating system must
be bootstrapped to the memory. This is referred to as Power-On-Self-Test or POST. POST is a series of
diagnostic tests that checks firmware and hardware components to ensure that the server is properly
functioning. This diagnostic function automatically runs each time the server is powered on.
These diagnostics, which reside in the BIOS ROM, isolate server-related logic failures and indicate the
board or component that needs to be replaced, as indicated by the error messages. Most server
hardware failures will be accurately isolated during POST. The number of tests displayed depends on
the configuration of the server.
During POST you can press:
•
F10
to access the Setup Utility.
•
F12
to request a network boot (PXE).
POST error messages
Whenever a non-critical error occurs during POST, an error message describing the problem appears
onscreen. These text messages are displayed in normal video (white text on black background). It
shows the details of the error. The following is an example of a POST error message:
