This chapter describes the Sun Blade 1500 workstation power-on self-test (POST).
Topics covered are:
■ “The post Command” on page 7-1
■ “Setting Up for POST” on page 7-2
■ “POST Output” on page 7-6
■ “Analyzing POST Results” on page 7-18
Note – Starting with OpenBoot PROM, version 4.16.0, POST is now initiated with
the post command.
7.1 The post Command
The post command enables you to override NVRAM settings and execute POST on-
demand with different diagnostic levels and output verbosity. For example:
Where:
■ level is min or max
■ verbosity is min, normal, or max
If no diagnostic level or output verbosity is provided, then the post command uses
the NVRAM settings of diag-level and verbosity. See
“Changing NVRAM
Configuration Parameter Values” on page 6-1 for more information about these
parameters.
