6.3 Boot Messages
Use boot software messages to verify all options are installed and recognized
by the system. After POST completes self-test, a message like the following will
appear on your screen. The message lists hardware components detected by
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.
Boot the system using the appropriate procedure for your operating system.
After boot, check the status of the system by inspecting system status LEDs on
the front panel. See Table 6-1 and Figure 6-5.
Ideally, after the self-tests finish, both left and right LEDs should be on. The
less than ideal condition is if all LEDs are on (system needs service, but is able
to run). The worst conditions are if the left and middle LEDs are on (system
cannot boot), or if none of the LEDs is on.
