Chapter 3: Configuring the System
Power-on Self Test (POST)
Each time you turn on the system, POST starts running. POST checks the
system board, processor, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral
devices. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that
it is able to access and test. The length of time needed to test memory depends
on the amount of memory installed. POST is stored in flash memory.
1. Turn on your video monitor and system. After a few seconds
POST begins to run.
2. After the memory test, these screen prompts and messages
appear:
Press <F2> key if you want to run SETUP
Keyboard.....Detected
Mouse........Detected
3. If you do not press <F2> and do NOT have a device with an
operating system loaded, the above message remains for a few
seconds while the boot process continues, and the system beeps
once. Then this message appears:
Insert bootable media in the appropriate drive
If you do not press <F2> and DO have an operating system
loaded, the boot process continues, and this message appears:
Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect(TM) Utility!
4. Press <Ctrl+A> if there are SCSI devices installed. When the
utility opens, follow the displayed instructions to configure the
onboard Adaptec AIC-7880
Ultra-wide SCSI host adapter settings
and to run the SCSI utilities.
If you choose not to press <Ctrl><A> (SCSI Select Utility), the
boot process continues. After POST completes, the system beeps
once.
What appears on the screen after this depends on whether you have an
operating system loaded and if so, which one.
If the system halts before POST completes running, it emits a beep code
indicating a fatal system error that requires immediate attention. If POST can
display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep
twice as the message appears.
Note the screen display and write down the beep code you hear; this
information is useful for your service representative. For a listing of beep
codes and error messages that POST can generate, see the “Solving Problems”
chapter in this manual.
