POST
When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of the server components
and some optional devices in the server. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test, or POST.
Note: This server does not use beep codes for server status.
If a power-on password is set, you must type the password and press Enter (when you are prompted),
for POST to run.
If POST detects a problem, an error message is displayed. See Appendix B “UEFI (POST) error codes” on
page 1017 for more information.
