POST Messages
POST message table
The following table shows error messages that can appear on the
screen during the power-on self-test (POST).
The server might display more than one error message. Often, the
first error to occur causes subsequent errors. When using the POST
message charts in this section, always begin by following the
suggested action for the first error message that appears on your
server screen. Note that, in these charts, x can be any alphanumeric
character.
Attention:
If you find it necessary to remove the server cover, first read
“Electrical safety” on page 70, “Handling static-sensitive devices”
on page 71, and “Preparing to add options” on page 73 for
important safety information and instructions.
Notes:
1. The actions for some of the messages require you to run the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. For information on using
these programs, see “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility
program” on page 39.
2. If a password prompt appears with a POST message, type the
administrator or power-on password; then, press Enter.
