POST
The following describes the progress of POST in the chronological order.
IMPORTANT:
Do not power off the server while POST is in progress.

Do not make unnecessary keyboard entries or perform mouse

operations while POST is in progress.
Some system configurations may display the message "Press Any

Key" to prompt a keyboard entry. This message is driven by BIOS
of an installed optional board. Make sure to read the manual that
comes with the optional board before any keyboard entry.
Powering on the server, after you installed or removed an optional

PCI board or moved it to another slot, may display the message that
indicates incorrect board configuration and suspend POST.
In such a case, press F1 to continue POST. Board configuration can
be made using the utility described later.
1.
After a few seconds from power-on, POST starts checking the memory. The count
message of the basic and expansion memory appears at top left on the display unit screen.
The memory check may take a few minutes to complete depending on the memory size of
the server. Also, it may take approximately one minute for the screen display to appear
after rebooting the server.
2.
Some messages appear upon completion of the memory check. These messages appear to
indicate that the system has detected the CPU, keyboard, and mouse.
3.
After a while, POST displays the startup menu of network controllers on mother board.
You don't need to launch the utility.
4.
If the Onboard RAID Controller (LSI Embedded MegaRAID) is enabled, the following
message is displayed to prompt you to run RAID utility. See Chapter 4 for jumper switch
setting.
Press <Ctrl><M> to Run LSI SoftwareRAID Configuration Utility
Press Ctrl + M to run the utility to configure the RAID System with hard disk drives. For
