6 Tests and Error Messages

MaxiLife Test Sequence and Error Messages

Basic Pre-boot Diagnostics

The first diagnostic (called basic pre-boot diagnostics) is run to check the presence of the processor(s) or terminators, power supply, hardware monitoring and thermal sensors. Simply by having a power cord connected to the PC Workstation activates the Basic Pre-boot Diagnostics.

The pre-boot diagnostic tests are run in order of priority with respect to their importance to computer functions.

On the HP Kayak XU700 PC Workstation, the first detected error displays a message on the LCD status panel. If this happens, one of the following screens could appear.

Presence of processor, or

Control of some voltages:

Missing or incorrectly installed

If a Power Supply error is displayed, a cause could be

processor or processor terminator

with the power supply cabling or circuits.

The following diagram shows how the Pre-boot Diagnostics works when it encounters an error.
