POST Execution Flow
The following describes the progress of POST in the chronological order.
IMPORTANT:
„
Do not make key entries or perform mouse operations while POST
is in progress.
„
Some system configurations may display the message "Press Any
Key" to prompt a key entry. This message is driven by BIOS of an
installed optional board. Make sure to read the manual that comes
with the optional board before any key entry.
„
Powering on the server, after you installed or removed an optional
PCI board or moved it to another slot, may display the message that
indicates incorrect board configuration and suspend POST.
In such a case, press
F1
to continue POST. Board configuration can
be made using the utility described later.
1.
After a few seconds from power-on, POST starts checking the memory. The count
message of the basic and expansion memory appears at top left on the display unit screen.
The memory check may takes a few minutes to complete depending on the memory size
of the server. Also, it may take approximately one minute for the screen display to appear
after rebooting the server.
2.
Some messages appear upon completion of the memory check. These messages appear to
indicate that the system has detected the CPU, keyboard, and mouse.
3.
After a few while, POST displays the message prompting you to launch the utility for
onboard network controller. The message will appear twice (for the number of LAN
controllers). You may ignore these messages.
4.
POST then detects the internal SAS controller and display the message prompting you to
launch the SAS BIOS setup utility. (Ignore the message. POST will automatically proceed
a few seconds later.)
Press Ctrl-C to start LSILogic Configuration Utility....
To launch the SAS BIOS setup utility, press Ctrl and C . See Chapter 4 for setup and
parameters.
The server automatically restarts POST all over again when you exit the SAS BIOS utility.
5.
POST displays SAS ID numbers used by the connected SAS devices on the screen.
