POST error codes

When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of the server components
and some optional devices in the server. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test, or POST.
If a power-on password is set, you must type the password and press Enter, when you are prompted,
for POST to run.
If POST is completed without detecting any problems, the server startup is completed.
If POST detects a problem, an error message is sent to the POST event log.
The following table describes the POST error codes and suggested actions to correct the detected problems.
These errors can appear as severe, warning, or informational.
Action
Use any of the following methods:
• Run Installable DSA to view the event logs or create an
output file that you can send to Lenovo service and
support.
• Type the IP address of the IMM and go to the Event
Log page.
• Use IPMItool to view the system-event log.
Use IPMItool locally to view the system-event log.

CD and restart the server to start DSA Preboot and
view the event logs.
