An indication of POST failure is when the keyboard Stop (L1) and D keys are
pressed and held when powering on the system and the Caps Lock key indicator
does not flash on and off. See “System Board Test for troubleshooting information.
Completing POST
When the POST is completed, determine if it passed or failed. If POST passed but
operational integrity of the system is questionable, initiate the OpenBoot PROM
diagnostics. If POST failed, use the keyboard LED indicator status or a displayed
error message (if a terminal or tip window was established) to verify the failure.
