These diagnostics, which reside in the BIOS ROM, isolate server-related logic failures and indicate the board or component that needs to be replaced, as indicated by the error messages. Most server hardware failures are accurately isolated during POST. The number of tests displayed depends on the configuration of the server. POST error indicators When POST detects a system failure, it either: • Displays a POST error message • Emits a series of beep codes (requires an optional expansion board) Recoverable POST Errors Whenever a non-fatal error occurs during POST, an error message describing the problem appears onscreen.
