HP ProLiant DL160se G6 Server Software Configuration Guide
System BIOS configuration 36
ensure that the server is properly functioning. This diagnostic function automatically runs each time the
server is powered on.
These diagnostics, which reside in the BIOS ROM, isolate the 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.
POST error indicators
When POST detects a system failure it displays a POST error message.
POST errors Message Definition
When a non-fatal error occurs during POST, the screen will display an error message with the format
“xxx-Error Identifier String” where “xxx” is a unique number code that matches ODM system specific
error documentation and may be a hexadecimal or decimal value.
