Diagnostic Tools and Setup Utilities
This chapter provides an overview of the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the POST error
messages, and BIOS, SCSI and SATA setup utilities.
POST
POST is a series of diagnostic tests that checks firmware and assemblies to ensure that the
server is properly functioning.
POST runs automatically on HP servers when the server is powered up.
POST Error Messages
Error messages that display during the POST process describe what prevents the server from
completing the boot process. Refer to Table 3-1.
