Power-On Self-Test (POST) Error Messages

The Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a series of diagnostic tests that runs automatically on
Compaq computers when the system is powered up. POST checks firmware and assemblies to
ensure that the computer system is functioning properly.
If POST finds an error in the system, an error condition is indicated by an audible or visual
message. If an error code displays on the screen during POST or after resetting the system,
follow the instructions in the Table 3-2. The error messages and codes listed include all codes
generated by Compaq products. Your system generates only the codes that are applicable to
your configuration and options.
NOTE: Many of the actions listed require you to run Diagnostics or the server setup utility appropriate to
your server. Steps for running these utilities are also provided in the Compaq Servers Troubleshooting
Guide.
