Power-On Self-Test diagnostics

Introduction
The Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a system diagnostic program (stored in
the BIOS) that runs each time the 1001rp server is started. POST's function
is to test system components and then display status messages.
POST message formats
POST reports on the system status in three ways:
POST beep codes
POST error codes and messages
Note: The on-screen display of POST codes is not supported on CallPilot
servers. However, the POST error codes and descriptions are included in
this section for reference purposes.
countdown codes displayed during normal BIOS POST
To run the Power-On Self Test
1 Power up the CallPilot server and monitor.
Result: After a few seconds, POST begins to run.
After the memory test, various screen prompts and messages appear.
The screen prompts may be accompanied by a single beep.
2 Observe the screen for any error messages and listen for POST beep
codes. When POST completes, the server beeps once.
If the server halts before POST is finished, the server emits a beep code
indicating that a fatal system error requires immediate attention. See
"Interpreting POST diagnostics" on page 26 for details.
If POST can display a message on the monitor, the server emits two
beeps as the message appears.
