Running FRU/SDR loads the sensor configuration (SDR) that is used to monitor temperature, voltage, and other parameters. If the FRU/SDR configuration does not match the physical configuration of the server, false errors might be generated by sensors that don't actually exist, and sensors that do exist might not be monitored.

NOTE
If there is no device with a bootable operating system, the boot process
continues, the system beeps once, and the following message is displayed:
Operating System not found
If you have a device with a bootable operating system but see this message
anyway, reboot and use BIOS Setup (page 39) to make sure your boot device
settings are correct.
Hot Keys for POST
Table 3 lists the hot keys you can use during POST to access setup utilities and alter the normal
POST execution.
Table 3.
Hot Keys
To Do This:
Press These Keys:
Abort memory test during POST.
<Space>
Press while BIOS is updating memory size on screen.
Resume after a POST error is displayed.
(The
system pauses after displaying an error.)
<F1>
Enter BIOS Setup during POST.
<F2>*
Boot to the service partition.
<F4>*
Boot from a network using Preboot Execution
Environment (PXE).
<F12>*
Remove the splash screen to view the diagnostic
messages during POST and display a menu for
selecting the boot device.
<ESC>*
Note: Using BIOS Setup, you can enable the Boot-
Time Diagnostic Screen, in which case POST does
not display the splash screen.
Note: If you use the displayed menu to change the
boot device, the change affects the current boot only.
Enter the Adaptec SCSI
Select
Utility during POST.
<Ctrl+A>*
* Press any of these keys when the prompt “Press <F2> to enter Setup…” is displayed.
Configuring the System with the FRU/SDR Load Utility
After POST completes and the system has finished booting from the System Resource CD, run the
FRU/SDR Load Utility to configure the sensor data record (SDR) and field replaceable unit (FRU)
inventory for the server.
For instructions, see page 62.
NOTE
When you first set up your server and any time you change the number of
processors, fans, or power supplies, you must run the FRU/SDR load utility.
Running FRU/SDR loads the sensor configuration (SDR) that is used to monitor
temperature, voltage, and other parameters.
If the FRU/SDR configuration does
not match the physical configuration of the server, false errors might be
generated by sensors that don’t actually exist, and sensors that do exist might not
be monitored.
