If you have a power-on password or administrator
password set, you must type the password and press
Enter before POST will continue.
If POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single
beep sounds and the first screen of your operating system
or application program appears.
If POST detects a problem, more than one beep sounds
and an error message appears on your screen.
Note
A single problem might cause several error messages.
When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first
error message. After the cause of the first error
message is corrected, the other error messages
usually will not occur the next time you run the test.
POST Beep Codes:
POST generates beep codes
to indicate successful completion or the detection of a
problem.
Ÿ
One beep indicates the successful completion of
POST.
Ÿ
More than one beep indicates that POST detected a
problem. For more information, see “Beep
Symptoms” on page 182.
Error Messages:
Error messages indicate that a
problem exists; they are not intended to be used to identify
a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex
problems indicated by error messages should be
performed by trained service personnel.
Hardware error messages that occur can be text, numeric,
or both. Messages generated by your software generally
are text messages, but they also can be numeric.
POST Error Messages:
POST error messages occur
during startup when POST finds a problem with the
hardware or detects a change in the hardware
configuration. For a list of POST errors, see “POST Error
Codes” on page 195.
System Monitoring Messages:
System monitoring
messages occur as the Advanced Remote Management
Controller monitors critical system functions. For a list of
codes, see “System Management Codes” on page 208.
Diagnostic Error Messages:
Diagnostic error
messages occur when a test finds a problem with the
server hardware. These error messages are alphanumeric
and they are saved in the Test Log. For a list of
diagnostic error codes, see “Diagnostic Error Codes” on
page 187.
