ServeRAID startup (POST) messages
During power-on self-test (POST), the ServeRAID controller compares the stored
configuration information to the configuration that is actually present. If a
discrepancy exists, one or more status messages appear after POST completes,
but before the operating system loads.
When you press F2 for detailed information, register information displays on the
screen, as follows:
ISPR displays the four-digit Interrupt Status Port Register code, BCS displays the
Basic Configuration Status Register code, and ECS displays the Extended
Configuration Status Register code.
If no errors occur:
ISPR = EF10 BCS = 0F or 09 ECS = 00
If an error occurs, refer to: “ISPR (Interrupt Status Port Register) codes” on
page 142 for the ISPR error codes and “Basic and Extended Configuration Status
Register Codes” on page 142 for the BCS and ECS error codes.
