POST Error Messages
If you get a POST text error message in reverse video, press the

key (View System Error) to get a
more detailed explanation and a possible solution.
If the Netserver starts, but POST still reports an error message, clear the CMOS configuration, as described
later in this chapter.
NOTE
HP recommends you correct the error before proceeding, even if the Netserver
appears to start successfully.
Table 4-1 describes the typical POST text error messages and the corrective action you may take to remedy
