Three-boot failure

Use this information for Three-boot failure.

Configuration changes, such as added devices or adapter firmware updates can cause the server to fail POST (power-on self-test). If this occurs on three consecutive boot attempts, the server temporarily uses the default configuration settings and automatically starts the Setup utility. To solve the problem, complete the following steps:

  1. Undo any configuration changes that you made recently and restart the server.
  2. Remove any devices that you added recently and restart the server.
  3. If the problem remains, start the Setup utility, select Load Default Settings to restore the server factory settings, and select Save Settings.
