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 power-on self-test, or POST.
Note: You cannot view the server status through beep codes.
If a power-on password is set, you must type the password when required and then press Enter to allow the
POST to start running.
If a problem is detected during the POST, an error message is displayed on the screen and also sent to the
POST event log. For more information, see Appendix B “UEFI (POST) error codes” on page 491.
If POST detects a problem, an error message is sent to the POST event log. For more information, see
“Event logs” on page 56.
Dynamic System Analysis
Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server
problems. Lenovo provides DSA Preboot edition to users.
DSA collects the following information about the server:
• Drive health information
• Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
• Hardware inventory, including PCI and USB information
• Light path diagnostics status
• Network interfaces and settings
• Performance data and details about processes that are running
• RAID controller configuration
• Service processor (Integrated Management Module II (IMM2)) status and configuration
• System configuration
• Vital product data and firmware information
For system-specific information about the action that you should take as a result of a message that DSA
generates, see Appendix C “DSA diagnostic test results” on page 503.
If you cannot find a problem by using DSA, see “Solving undetermined problems” on page 72 for information
about testing the server.
Note: DSA Preboot might appear to be unresponsive when you start the program. This is normal symptom
while the program loads.
Make sure that the server has the latest version of the DSA code. To obtain DSA codes and the Dynamic
