POST Check
POST (power-on self test) is a self-test function stored on the motherboard of Fault Tolerant Server series.
When you power on the server, POST will start automatically to check the motherboard, ECC memory modules,
CPU/IO modules, keyboard, mouse, etc. It also shows startup messages for various BIOS setup utilities.
According to the factory default settings, a full-screen logo appears on the display while POST is being performed. (To
view POST's details, press Esc.)
TIPS:
You can view POST details from the beginning without the need to press Esc when the
displayed: select [System Configuration] - [Advanced], and set [Boot-time Diagnostic Screen] to "Enabled"
(see Chapter 4).
You can view the test items and details from a management PC where NEC ESMPRO Manager is installed.
