Pre-Standby Phase

This	phase	is	entered when	the server	is connected to a power source. The ser
may	or may	not	be fully powered on. This phase is exited when the Power-On Self
Tests (POSTS)		and	configurations	tasks are	completed.

The Pre-Standby phase components are:

ŸSP Initialization

SP performs any necessary hardware and software initializations.

ŸSP POST

SP conducts Power-On Self Tests on its various work and code areas.

Ÿ SP Unattended Start Mode Checks

To assist fault recovery. If unattended start mode is set, the SP automatical reboots the server. SP will not wait for a user-input or power-on command, but will move straight through the phase and into the Bringup Phase. The unattended start mode can be reset by accessing SMS menus, or SP menus.
