POST
This information provides an overview of the POST error codes.
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.
Note: This server does not use beep codes for server status.
If a power-on password is set, you must type the password and press Enter (when
you are prompted), for POST to run.
If POST detects a problem an error message is displayed. See Appendix C,
“UEFI/POST error codes,” on page 473 for more information.
If POST detects a problem, an error message is sent to the POST event log, see
“Event logs” on page 181 for more information.
