provides
basic
troubleshooting
information
to
help
you
resolve
some
common
problems
that
might
occur
with
the
server.
If
you
cannot
locate
and
correct
the
problem
using
the
information
in
this
section,
refer
to
“Symptom-to-FRU

Diagnostic
tools
overview
The
following
tools
are
available
to
help
you
identify
and
resolve
hardware-related
problems:
v
POST
beep
codes
The
power-on
self-test
(POST)
generates
beep
codes
and
messages
to
indicate
successful
test
completion
or
the
detection
of
a
problem.
See
“POST”
for
more
information.
v
Diagnostic
programs
and
error
messages
The
server
diagnostic
programs
are
provided
on
the
IBM
Enhanced
Diagnostics
CD.
These
programs
test
the
major
components
of
the
server.
See
“Diagnostic
programs
and
error
messages”
on
page
10
for
more
information.
POST
When
you
turn
on
the
server,
it
performs
a
series
of
tests
to
check
the
operation
of
server
components
and
some
of
the
options
installed
in
the
server.
This
series
of
tests
is
called
the
power-on
self-test
or
POST.
If
POST
finishes
without
detecting
any
problems,
the
first
window
of
the
operating
system
or
application
program
appears.
Note:
1.
If
you
have
a
power-on
password
or
administrator
password
set,
you
must
type
the
password
and
press
Enter,
when
prompted,
before
POST
will
continue.
2.
A
single
problem
might
cause
several
error
messages.
When
this
occurs,
work
to
correct
the
cause
of
the
first
error
message.
After
you
correct
the
cause
of
the
first
error
message,
the
other
error
messages
usually
will
not
occur
the
next
time
you
run
the
test.
