POST Execution Flow
The following describes the progress of POST in the chronological order.
Caution
■ 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 configura-
tion can be made using the utility described later.
