LCD Status Panel

Boot Steps

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.
