and
solve
hardware-related
problems:
v
POST
beep

The
power-on
self-test
(POST)
generates
beep

to
indicate
successful
test
completion
or
the
detection
of
a
problem.
See
for
more
information.

v
Diagnostic
programs,
messages,
and
error
messages
The
diagnostic
programs
are
the
primary
method
of
testing
the
major
components
of
the
server.
The
diagnostic
programs
are
on
the
IBM
Enhanced
Diagnostics
CD.
See
for
more
information.
POST
When
you
turn
on
the
server,
it
performs
a
series
of
tests
to
check
the
operation
of
the
server
components
and
some
optional
devices
in
the
server.
This
series
of
tests
is
called
the
power-on
self-test,
or
POST.
If
a
power-on
password
is
set,
you
must
type
the
password
and
press
Enter,
when
prompted,
for
POST
to
run.
If
POST
detects
a
problem,
one
or
more
beeps
might
sound,
or
an
error
message
is
displayed.
See
and
for
more
information.
POST
beep
codes
A
beep
code
is
a
combination
of
short
or
long
beeps
or
series
of
short
beeps
that
are
separated
by
pauses.
For
example,
a
“1-2-3”
beep
code
is
one
short
beep,
a
pause,
two
short
beeps,
and
pause,
and
three
short
beeps.
A
beep
code
indicates
that
POST
has
detected
a
problem.
A
single
problem
might
cause
more
than
one
error
message.
When
this
occurs,
correct
the
cause
of
the
first
error
message.
The
other
error
messages
usually
will
not
occur
the
next
time
POST
runs.
