4.11 Power-On Self-Test
The system provides a rudimentary power-on self-test (POST) that runs each time
the blade server boots to check the basic devices required for the system to operate.
The progress of the self-test is indicated by a series of POST codes. These codes
appear at the bottom right corner of the system’s VGA screen (once the self-test has
progressed far enough to initialize the video monitor).
Youcan configure the level of POST testing and some POST display features through
the BIOS menus. For more information, see Section4.12, “Changing POST Options”
on page 4-14.
4.12 Changing POST Options
These instructions are optional, but you can use them to change the operations that
the server performs during POST testing.
1. Initialize the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is
performing the power-on self-test (POST).
The BIOS Main Menu screen is displayed.
2. From the BIOS Main Menu screen, select the Boot menu.
3. From the Boot Settings screen, select Boot Settings Configuration.
