When enabling Wake-on LAN, remove all power cords before adding or removing
any adapters. Some adapters can cause the system to power on when added or
removed.
POST F1 Prompt (G6 servers)
The POST F1 Prompt option is a toggle setting that configures the server so the F1 key must be pressed to
proceed when an error occurs during the power-up sequence. A series of system tests executes during
POST before continuing with the following:
•
If failures occur that allow the system to continue operating, the system continues to boot but posts a
message.
•
If critical components fail or are missing, the server attempts to boot. If it can boot, it posts a
message and an F1 prompt.
o
If Enabled is selected and an error occurs, the system stops at the F1 prompt until the F1 key is
pressed, before continuing to boot.
o
If Delayed is selected and an error occurs, the system pauses for 20 seconds at the F1 prompt,
and then continues to boot the OS.
•
If the system cannot run with the missing or failed components, it halts until those components are
replaced.
