POST
Use this information for more about POST self-test errors for the blade server.
When you turn on the blade server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of the blade server
components and some optional devices in the server. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test, or
POST.
Note:
This server does not use beep codes for server status.
If a power-on password is set, you must type the password and press Enter, when you are prompted, for
POST to run.
If POST is completed without detecting any problems, the server startup will continue.
If POST detects a problem, an error message is displayed. See “POST/UEFI diagnostic codes” on page 81
for more information.
If POST detects a problem, an error message is sent to the POST event log, see “Event logs” on page 79 for
more information.
POST/UEFI diagnostic codes
Use this information to diagnose and resolve POST/UEFI error for the blade server.
UEFI/POST diagnostic error codes can be generated when the server starts up or while the server is running.
UEFI/POST codes are logged in the IMM event log in the server.
