your server. See “Diagnostic programs, error codes, and messages” on page 22
for more information.

POST error codes and messages
When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of
server components and some of the options installed in the server. This series of
tests is called the power-on self-test, or POST.
If POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds, and the first
screen of your operating system or application program appears.
If POST detects a problem, more than one beep sounds, and/or an error message
appears on your screen. See “Beep symptoms” on page 101 and “POST error
codes” on page 110 for more information.
Note: A single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs,
work to correct the cause of the first error message. After you correct the cause of
the first error message, the other error messages usually will not occur the next
time you run the test.
Error logs
The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that
the system generated during POST.
The System Error log contains all messages issued during POST and all system
status messages from the service processor.
You can view the contents of the System Error log from the Configuration/Setup
Utility program or from the diagnostic programs.
Viewing error logs from the Configuration/Setup Utility program
Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program; then, select Error Logs from the main
menu. See Chapter 2, “Configuring your server,” on page 7 for more information.
