3.1.1 Boot Messages
Use boot software messages to verify that all options are installed and
recognized by the system. After POST completes self-test, a message like the
following appears. It 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 procedure that is appropriate for your operating
system. See the Preface, “When You Need Help with UNIX Commands” for a
reference to documentation that describes this procedure.
After boot, check the status of the system by inspecting system status LEDs on
the front panel. See Table 3-1 and Figure 3-4.
Ideally, when self-test completes, both left and right LEDs are on. Less ideal is
if all LEDs are on (system needs service, but is able to run). The worst
condition is if the left and middle LEDs are on (system cannot boot), or if no
LED is on.
