POST Sequence and POST Error
In this phase, MaxiLife waits for any error messages that the BIOS may
issue. If such an error occurs, an error code appears on the monitor
screen.
On the HP x2000 Workstation, a screen similar to Figure 4-3 displays.
The error code that appears on the LCD status panel is the same as the
one that appears on the monitor screen. If the POST issues several error
codes, only the last one is visible on the LCD status panel.
