Reading Boot Messages

Use the boot software messages to verify that all options are installed and recognized
by the system. After firmware completes the system self-test, a message similar to
the following will appear on your screen. The message lists hardware detected in the
system.

Note -

This screen display is an example only. The actual message displayed on the

screen will depend on the software running on your system.
