Select this option to review the results of the POST (power-on self-test). Your system
unit may be able to start in the presence of POST errors if there are sufficient
working system resources. If POST errors occur during start up, this error log, when
used with the diagnostics, helps to isolate faults. See page “System POST Errors” on
page 182 for an example of the POST error screen.

The processor can be in one of four states:
–
Configured by system:
The system processor is present, and has not exceeded
the failure threshold.
–
Deconfigured by system:
The system processor has been taken off-line by the
service processor due to an unrecoverable error, or recoverable errors exceeding
the failure threshold.
–
Manually configured :
The processor is present and available. It has been
configured by the user through the service processor menus.
–
Manually deconfigured :
The processor is present, but unavailable. It has been
deconfigured by the user through the service processor menus.
v
Memory Configuration/Deconfiguration Menu
:
Use this menu to view and modify the memory DIMM configuration. If it is necessary
to take one of the memory DIMMs off-line, this menu allows you to deconfigure a
DIMM and then reconfigure the DIMM at a later time.
The configuration process takes place during system power-up. Therefore, the
configuration displayed by this menu in standby mode reflects the configuration
during the last boot.
