I If you do not press [F2] and do not have a hard disk drive with an

once. Then the following message is displayed:

devices are installed). Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to

Ê Press [Esc] during POST to access a boot menu when POST has finished.
You can choose the boot device or start BIOS Setup from this menu.
The system emits a beep to indicate that POST has been completed.
What appears next on your screen depends on whether an operating system is
installed on your server and which operating system is involved.
If the system stops before the POST has been completed, it emits a beep code
to indicate a critical system error that requires immediate attention. If POST
messages are displayed on the screen, the system beeps twice when the
message appears.
Take note of the messages displayed and write down the beep code you hear
since this information is useful to your service representative. You will find a list
of the beep codes generated by POST and error message in the chapter
“Troubleshooting and tips” on page 75.
