Diagnostic Tools

This chapter describes software and firmware diagnostic tools available for
Compaq server products. These include:

Power-On Self-Test (POST)

Power-On Self-Test (POST)
POST is a series of diagnostic tests that run automatically on Compaq servers
when the system is turned on. POST checks the following assemblies to
ensure that the server is functioning properly:
Keyboard
Power supply
System board
Memory
Memory expansion boards
Controllers
Diskette drives
Hard drives
If POST finds an error in the system, an error condition is indicated by an
audible and/or visual message. If an error code is displayed on the screen
during POST or after resetting the system, follow the instructions in
Table 11-1. The error messages and codes listed in this table include all codes
generated by Compaq products. Your system will only generate those codes
which are applicable to your configuration and options.
