2-26 General Description
POST Check
POST (power-on self test) is a self-test function stored on the motherboard of NEC Express5800/ft
series.
When you power on the server, POST will start automatically to check the motherboard, ECC
memory modules, CPU modules, keyboard, mouse, etc. It also shows startup messages for various
BIOS setup utilities.
According to the factory default settings, the "NEC" 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 BIOS menu is 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 or MWA is installed.
You don't always need to check POST details. You will need to check messages when:
You install a new NEC Express5800/ft series.
A failure is suspected.
You hear several beeps between the time of the power-on and OS start-up.
The display unit or the LCD* shows an error message.
*For details, see "Error Messages on LCD" in Chapter 7.
