operate. The progress of the self-test is indicated by a series of POST codes. This chapter explains the BIOS POST testing, provides an alternate method for viewing the codes, describes how to change POST options, and lists the POST codes. This chapter https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19464-01/820-6850-11/POST.html contains the following sections: About POST How BIOS POST Memory Testing Works Redirecting Console Output Changing POST Options POST Codes POST Code LEDs About POST The POST is a systematic check of basic system devices. As the testing progresses, the BIOS displays codes that you can use to interpret the status of your server. The codes appear at the bottom right corner of the system’s VGA screen, after the self-test has progressed far enough to initialize the video monitor. Because the codes beep codes might scroll off of the screen too quickly to be read, an alternate method of displaying POST codes is to redirect the output of the console to a serial port (see Redirecting Console Output). You can also see some of the post codes on LEDs inside the front panel of your server node (see POST Code LEDs). How BIOS POST Memory Testing Works The BIOS POST memory testing is performed as follows: 1. The first megabyte of DRAM is tested by the BIOS bios beep codes before the BIOS code is shadowed (that is, copied from ROM to DRAM). 2. Once executing out of DRAM, the BIOS performs a simple memory test (a write/read of every location with the pattern 55aa55aa). Note - This memory test is performed only if Quick Boot is not enabled from the Boot Settings Configuration screen. Enabling Quick Boot causes the BIOS to skip the memory test. See Changing POST Options for more information. 3. The BIOS polls the memory controllers for both correctable and non-correctable memory errors and logs those errors into the SP. 4. The message BMC Responding appears at the end of POST. Redirecting Console Output You can access BIOS POST codes remotely using the web interface or the CLI. To Access BIOS POST Codes Using the Web Interface 1. Open a browser and use the SP’s IP address as the URL. Refer to the Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 User’s Guide (820-1188) for information on how to obtain the IP address of the SP. 2. Type a user name and password as follows: User name: root Password: changeme 3. The ILOM SP web interface screen appears. 4. Click the Remote Control tab. 5. Click the Redirection tab. 6. Click the Start Redirection button. The javaRConsole window appears and prompts you for your user name and password again, then the current POST screen appears. To Access BIOS POST Codes Using the CLI 1. Log in to the SP cli with the command ssh root
