After the server starts, check the operation of the POST. The POST detects error
conditions and determines whether the problem is caused by the motherboard, the
keyboard, or an inappropriate setup.

Make sure that the FDD indicator on the floppy disk drive comes on when the drive is
accessed. If the lamp does not light properly, see
The FDD Activity Indicator Does
Not Light
on page 159.

Make sure that the status indicators on each hard disk drive and/or SCSI device light
correctly.

If RAID controllers are installed in the server, perform RAID configuration damage
checks using the POST. When the server starts, the monitor displays the prompt
appropriate for the operating system. If the prompt does not appear on screen, see
Startup Problems
on page 156.
Startup Sequence
This section addresses problems which may occur during startup.
Error Checking
When the server starts, the POST executes and checks the motherboard, the memory,
the keyboard, and other devices. If the POST detects an error, it displays an error
message on the screen. An alarm sounds (beeps) continuously if the error was detected
prior to displaying the POST window.
Startup Problems
If an error occurs during the server startup, check the following:
❖
Is the power cable connected correctly to an appropriately grounded AC power
outlet?
❖
After pressing the Power button, did the power on indicator turn green?
❖
Are all cables connected correctly and securely?
❖
Are the PCI expansion cards installed correctly?
HINT: If the server stops before completing the POST, a fatal system error has
occurred and you must take immediate action. Write down any error message that
appears on the screen and take note of the tones generated by the speaker (such
as a “beep” code). This information will be very useful if you need to contact
Toshiba for assistance or service.
