The main menu is displayed when any of the LCD buttons are pressed

 

(MaxiLife LCD status panel can be accessed even though the PC

 

Workstation is turned off). The Main Menu comprises three sub-menus:

 

System Info, Boot Steps and Diagnostics.

Obtains information from the BIOS and the system’s Serial EEPROM from a

 

previously successful boot. This information includes: product name, BIOS

 

version, serial number, number of processors and speed, size of memory for

 

each socket. The following diagram shows how the System Info obtains its

 

information.

Shows the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) codes during the system startup.

 

The POST code is provided by the BIOS and is displayed on the LCD panel

 

as soon as it is available. If the system stops during the startup, the last

 

successful boot step POST code is displayed on the LCD. When Boot Steps

 

is selected, the POST step will be shown on the LCD status panel during the

 

subsequent boot processes.

 

To ensure that MaxiLife is ready to display the first POST codes as soon as

 

possible, the Pre-boot diagnostics are not executed when the system is

 

booted with the Boot Steps option selected. The following diagram shows

 

how Boot Steps obtains its information from the BIOS, and then displays a

 

POST error if needed.
