Notes:
1. If you have a power-on password or administrator
password set, you must type the password and press
Enter, when prompted, before POST will continue.
2. A single problem might cause several error mes-
sages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of
the first error message. After you correct the cause of
the first error message, the other error messages usu-
ally will not occur the next time you run the test.

POST beep codes

POST generates beep codes to indicate successful comple-
tion or the detection of a problem.
• One beep indicates the successful completion of
POST.
• More than one beep indicates that POST detected a
problem. For more information, see "Beep symptoms"
on page 153.

POST error messages

POST error messages occur during startup when POST
finds a problem with the hardware or detects a change in the
hardware configuration. For a list of POST errors, see
"POST error codes" on page 171.

Event/error logs

The POST error log contains the three most recent error
codes and messages that the system generated during
POST. The System Event/Error Log contains all error mes-
sages issued during POST and all system status messages
from the Netfinity Advanced System Management Proces-
sor.
To view the contents of the error logs, start the Configura-
tion/Setup Utility program (see "Starting the Configura-
tion/Setup Utility program" on page 43); then, select
Event/Error Logs from the main menu.
Small computer system interface
messages
If you receive a SCSI error message, see "SCSI error codes"
on page 181.
Note: If the server does not have a hard disk drive, ignore
any message that indicates that the BIOS is not
installed.
You will get these messages only when running the SCSI
Select Utility.
