Error Messages after Power-on
Powering on the server automatically starts the self-diagnostic program, POST (Power
On Self-Test). When the POST detects any error, it displays an error message and its
measure on the display unit.
Follow the table below to troubleshoot such errors. However, even when there is no
hardware failure, use of the keyboard or mouse at the following timing causes the
POST to assume a keyboard controller error and stop processing:
Immediately after the server is powered
Immediately after the system is rebooted in response to a keyboard instruction
(simultaneous key entry of Ctrl + Alt + Delete)
Immediately after the system is rebooted in response to an OS instruction
During hardware initialization following restart of the POST
When the POST detects a hardware failure due to the above reason, restart the server
once again. If the same error message reappears, you may assume there is no hardware
error. To ensure normal operation of the server, however, make sure to follow the
following restrictions.
Do not make any keyboard entry or use the mouse before the memory count
appears on the screen following the server power-on.
Do not make any keyboard entry or use the mouse before the start-up message of
the Configuration Utility appears on the screen following the server reboot.
Take a note on the on-screen message before contacting your
sales agent.
The alarm indication would be a great help for maintenance.
