AC450NX Rack Server System 11
Power-on self test
Each time you turn on the server, the power LED on the front panel turns on and the power-on
self-test (POST) starts running. POST checks the I/O system board, processor system board,
keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.
During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test.
Depending on the amount of memory installed on each memory board, the test may take several
minutes.
These screen prompts and messages appear after the memory test:
Mouse initialized....
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
Do NOT press <F2>. The above message remains for a few seconds, and POST continues. The
server beeps once, and this message appears:
Operating system not found
Boot from the server configuration software CD
CAUTION
The Server Configuration Software CD contains only a limited operating
system. This limited operating system provides enough function to let you
boot from the CD and copy and use the utility and manual files from the CD.
But this limited OS is NOT intended to be copied onto diskettes or onto your
hard disk as a full-function OS that supports net-working or Windows
†
. To
run your server and applications, you must buy the OS of your choice and
install it on the server.
