Chapter 1. General checkout The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable read-only memory (ROM) on the system board. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server: the system board, Ethernet controller, video controller, RAM, keyboard, mouse (pointing device), diskette drive, serial ports, and hard drives. You can also use them to test some external devices. See “Diagnostic programs and error messages” on page 15. Also, if you cannot dete

POST When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of server components and some of the options installed in the server. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test or POST. If POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds and the first screen of your operating system or application program appears. If POST detects a problem, more than one beep sounds and an error message appears on your screen. See “POST error messages” f
