IMPORTANT: When the power is supplied to the modular server, the initial diagnosis is executed for about 5 seconds. In this period, the POWER/SLEEP switch is disabled. Power on the modular server about 5 seconds immediately after you installed the modular server in the Module Enclosure (1way) or power is supplied to the modular server.

While the POST progress screen appears, the modular server runs the self-diagnosis program (POST) to diagnose the modular server itself. See "POST" described later for details. At the completion of POST, OS is booted.

NOTE: If a fault is found during POST, it is interrupted and the error message notifying the fault appears. See Chapter 7.
