POST F1 Prompt The POST F1 Prompt option is a toggle setting that configures the server so the F1 key must be pressed to proceed when an error occurs during the power-up sequence. A series of system tests execute during POST, with errors handled in one of the following ways: • If errors occur that allow the system to continue operating, the system continues to boot but posts a message. • If critical components fail or are missing, the server attempts to boot. If it can boot, it posts a message and an F1 prompt. • If the system cannot run with the missing or failed components, it halts until those components are replaced. Options include: • Enabled-If an error occurs during startup, the system stops at the F1 prompt. Boot continues only after the F1 key is pressed. • Disabled-If an error occurs during startup, the F1 prompt is not displayed and the system continues to boot the OS. • Delayed (default)-If an error occurs during startup, the system pauses for 20 seconds at the F1 prompt and then continues to boot the OS.
