Power-On Self Test (POST)
Power-On Self Test (POST) is a self-test function stored on the motherboard of NEC Express5800/ft
series.
When you power on the server, POST will start automatically to check the motherboard, memory,
processor (CPU), keyboard, mouse, etc. It also shows startup messages for various BIOS setup
utilities.
According to the factory default settings, the "NEC" logo appears on the display while POST is
being performed. (To view POST’s details, press
Esc
.)
TIPS:
You can view POST screen from the beginning without the need to press
Esc
by changing
the BIOS parameter.
Run the BIOS setup utility and enable [Boot-time Diagnostic Screen] in the [Main] menu
(see Chapter 4).
You can view the test items and details from a management PC where NEC ESMPRO
Manager is installed.
You don't always need to check POST details. You will need to check messages when:
You install a new NEC Express5800/ft series.
A failure is suspected.
The display unit shows an error message.
