Power-on Self-Test

Each time you turn on the server, the power LED on the front panel turns on and the power-on self-test (POST) starts running. It checks the system board, processor, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.

During the memory test, the POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test. Depending on the amount of memory installed on the memory module, it may take several minutes to complete the memory test.
