POST Progress and Error Reporting

While POST is initialized, the Caps Lock key on the Sun type-5 keyboard flashes on
and off to indicate that POST tests are being executed. Additional POST progress
indications are also visible when a TTY-type terminal or a tip line is connected
between serial port A (default port) of the system being tested and a POST
monitoring system.
If an error occurs during the POST execution, the keyboard Caps Lock key indicator
stops flashing and an error code is displayed using the Caps Lock, Compose, Scroll
Lock, and Num Lock key indicators. The error code indicates a particular system
hardware failure.
