Power-On Self Test - Intel AC450NX Product Manual

Chapter 2 On-site Installation: Installing the Server

Power-on Self Test

Each time you turn on the server the power LED on the front panel turns on and the power-on self
test (POST) starts running. POST checks the I/O system board, processor system board, keyboard,
and most installed peripheral devices.
During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test.
Depending on the amount of memory installed on each memory board, the test may take several
minutes.
These screen prompts and messages appear after the memory test:
Mouse initialized....
Keboard detected
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
Do NOT press <F2>. The above message remains for about a second, and POST continues. The
server beeps once, and this message appears:
Operating system not found
Go to "Booting From the Server Configuration Software CD" on page 36.
