System Overview 1-31
POST Execution Flow
The following describes the progress of POST in the chronological order.
IMPORTANT:
!
Do not make key entries or perform mouse operations while POST is in
progress.
!
Some system configurations may display the message "Press Any Key"
to prompt a key entry. This message is driven by BIOS of an installed
optional board. Make sure to read the manual that comes with the
optional board before any key entry.
!
Powering on the server, after you installed or removed an optional PCI
board or moved it to another slot, may display the message that indicates
incorrect board configuration and suspend POST.
In such a case, press
F1
to continue POST. Board configuration can be
made using the utility described later.
1.
A few seconds after power-on, POST starts checking the memory. The count message of
the basic and expansion memory appears at top left on the display unit screen. The
memory check may take a few minutes to complete depending on the memory size of the
Express server. Also, it may take approximately one minute for the screen display to
appear after rebooting the server.
2.
Some messages appear upon completion of the memory check. These messages appear to
indicate that the system has detected the CPU, keyboard, and mouse.
3.
After a few seconds, POST displays the following message prompting you to launch the
BIOS setup utility, SETUP, stored in the system memory of the server. This message
appears at bottom left on the screen.
Press <F2> to enter SETUP, Press <F12> to Network
Launch the BIOS setup utility when you need to change the settings to meet the
requirements for the server. As long as the above message is not displayed with an error
message, you don't have to launch the utility. (Ignore the message. POST will
automatically proceed.)
To launch the SETUP utility, press
F2
while the above message is displayed. See Chapter
3 for setup and parameters.
The server automatically restarts POST all over again when you exit the SETUP utility.
Press
F12
to start the operating system from the network drive.
