POST

Use this information for more about POST self-test errors for the blade server.

When you turn on the blade server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of the blade server components and some optional devices in the blade server. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test, or POST.
  1. If a power-on password is set, you must type the password and press Enter, when you are prompted, for POST to run.
  2. If POST is completed without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds, and the blade server startup is completed.
  3. If POST detects a problem, more than one beep might sound, or an error message is displayed. See Beep code descriptions and POST error codes for more information.
