If a Power-On System Hardware Test Error Message Appears
If an error occurs during the power-on system hardware test (when the NetServer
starts) details of the error are displayed. Follow the instructions on the screen.
It is recommended that you correct the error before proceeding, even if the
NetServer appears to start successfully.
If the NetServer starts, but the power-on system hardware test still reports an
error message, clear the CMOS memory, as described below.

duct/cover.
