Ê Press the key combinationÊ + to call the SCSI utility (only if SCSI devices are installed). Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to configure the onboard SCSI host adapter and to run the SCSI utilities (see also the section “QLogic SCSI utility” on page 72).

If you do not call the SCSI utility, the boot process continues.

Ê Press during POST to access a boot menu when POST has finished. You can choose the boot device or start BIOS Setup from this menu.

The system emits a beep to indicate that POST has been completed.

What appears next on your screen depends on whether an operating system is installed on your server and which operating system is involved.

If the system stops before the POST has been completed, it emits a beep code to indicate a critical system error that requires immediate attention. If POST messages are displayed on the screen, the system beeps twice when the message appears.

Take note of the messages displayed and write down the beep code you hear since this information is useful to your service representative. You will find a list of the beep codes generated by POST and error message in the chapter “Troubleshooting and tips” on page 75.
