UEFI/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 Appendix B "UEFI/POST error codes" on

page 719 for more information.

If POST detects a problem, an error message is sent to the POST event log, see "Event logs" on page

115 for more information.

Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server

DSA collects the following information about the server:

• Drive health information

• Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors

• Hardware inventory, including PCI and USB information

• Installed applications and hot fixes (available in DSA Portable only)

• Kernel modules (available in DSA Portable only)

• Light path diagnostics status

• Network interfaces and settings

• Performance data and details about processes that are running

• RAID and controller configuration

• Service processor (integrated management module) status and configuration

• System configuration

• Vital product data and firmware information

For system-specific information about the action that you should take as a result of a message that DSA

generates, see "Diagnostic text messages" on page 120.

If you cannot find a problem by using DSA, see "Solving undetermined problems" on page 135 for

information about testing the server.

1. In a multi-node environment, each server has a unique DSA interface. You can view server-specific

information, such as event logs, from these unique DSA interfaces.
