TECHNICAL NOTE: If the server is turned on through the Wake-On-LAN function
and turned off again before the Windows LAN driver is loaded, a startup fault may
occur the next time you attempt to start the server using the Wake-On-LAN
function. If this occurs, disconnect, then reconnect, the power cable from the AC
outlet.
Power On Self Test (POST)
Pressing the power button turns on the server and starts the Power On Self Test (POST).
The POST is a self-diagnosing function that automatically executes each time the server
starts. The motherboard, BIOS and BMC firmware revisions, microprocessor, memory,
keyboard, and some peripheral devices connected to the server are automatically
checked by the POST. During the memory test, the POST accesses and tests the
server's memory, and then displays the amount of system memory on the screen.
Depending on how the server is configured, following the POST a message similar to the
following appears on the screen:
Press F2 to enter SETUP
Pressing the F2 key starts the BIOS setup utility. If you do not press F2, system startup
continues.
If an error is detected by the POST (depending on the error condition) one of the
following occurs:
❖
A beep sounds during testing
❖
An error code and message appear after the POST completes
Booting the server
You can boot the server from any of the following devices:
❖
Floppy disk drive
❖
Hard disk drive
❖
