Post - IBM System x3550 M3 Type 4254 Problem Determination And Service Manual

POST

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.
Note: This server does not use beep codes for server status.
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 detects a problem an error message is displayed. See "POST error codes"
on page 27 for more information.
