Diagnostic tools and setup utilities 91
These diagnostics, which reside in the BIOS ROM, isolate server-related logic failures and indicate the
board or component that needs to be replaced, as indicated by the error messages. Most server
hardware failures are accurately isolated during POST. The number of tests displayed depends on the
configuration of the server.
During POST you can:
• Press F10 to access the Setup Utility.
POST error indicators

• The processor is fully seated in its socket on the system board.
• The heat sink assembly is properly installed on top of the processor.

jumpers on the board are properly set. Refer to the documentation provided with the accessory
board.
