Setting Up Your Server 3-11

The POWER/SLEEP lamp on the front of the server comes on.

In a few seconds, the NEC logo appears on the screen and the Power On Self-Test (POST) begins.

The POST runs automatically when you power on the server or reset it with a keyboard operation

(Ctrl + Alt + Delete). The POST runs diagnostics, initializes the server, sets interrupt vectors,

detects installed peripheral devices, and boots the operating system (if installed). See Chapter 2 for

detailed description on POST.

If the server halts before completing the POST, the POST emits a beep code indicating a fatal

system error requiring immediate attention. (See Chapter 8, "Troubleshooting," for troubleshooting

information.)

During memory test, the POST displays the amount of memory it was able to access and test.

Depending on the amount of installed memory, it may take several minutes to complete the memory

test.

NOTE: The factory-set is defined to hide the POST screen with the

NEC logo screen. You can always change the NEC logo screen to the

POST screen by pressing Esc. To change the start-up screen, use the

BIOS SETUP utility. (See Chapter 4 for details.)

During the POST, you will see the banner message to prompt you to launch the BIOS SETUP utility

stored in ROM on the mother board or on an installed option board.

Start the BIOS SETUP utility appropriate to your system environment to change the CMOS Setup.

For detail explanation on the BIOS SETUP utility for the server, see Chapter 4. For the BIOS utility

for the option board, refer to the manual that comes with the option board.

IMPORTANT: Always allow POST to complete before turning off

your system.
