C Power-on Self Test (POST) error codes
This appendix lists the error codes that can be returned by HP Smart Array Controller Option ROM
during Power-On Self Test (POST), and provides details of corrective actions you can take.
POST error codes
The Smart Array Controller provides diagnostic error messages to the server BIOS at reboot. Many
of these POST messages are self-explanatory and suggest corrective actions for troubleshooting.
Detailed information and corrective actions are listed in Table 20.
The Level column in Table 20 indicates the severity of the error:
None No F1 prompt is triggered.
Informational An F1 prompt is triggered, unless a POST prompt timeout is configured.
Critical The controller always requests the System ROM to display the F1 prompt,
although this can still be disabled through system configuration.
