Error classes
There are two major classes of errors—fatal and non-fatal.
All fatal errors generate error 922-Fatal error on (subsystem is identified)
Non fatal errors generate a different error number for each subsystem and for correctable and
uncorrectable error types:

POST and error messages
POST is a program run at startup that initializes and runs some tests on installed hardware. An audible
and/or visual message occurs if the POST encounters a problem. POST checks the following items to
ensure that the workstation system is functioning properly:
Keyboard
Memory modules
Diskette drives
All SATA and SAS mass storage devices
Processors
Controllers
NOTE:
If the power-on password is set, a key icon appears on the screen while POST is running. You
must enter the password before continuing.
