Power-on self-test error logs for the TS7650 Appliance or TS7650G (Gateway), ProtecTIER® V3.3.6

During power-on self-test (POST), a beep code indicates whether problems were detected. Any problems that occur during POST are recorded in the error logs.

If the POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds, and the first screen of your operating system or application program is displayed.

If the POST detects a problem, more than one beep sounds, and an error message displays on your screen. See the IBM® System x3850 M2 and x3950 M2 Types 7141, 7233, 7144, and 7234 Problem Determination and Service Guide for detailed failure information.

Notes:

Before the POST continues, if you have a power-on password or an administrator password set, you must type the password and press Enter when prompted. (If you do not have the password, obtain it from the customer.)
A single problem can cause several error messages. If this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message and then run the test again. In many cases, the other error messages are also eliminated.

The POST error log contains the three most recent error codes and messages that the system generated during the POST. The system-error log or baseboard management controller (BMC) log contains all messages issued during the POST and all system status messages from the service processor.

You can view the contents of the system-error log and BMC log from the Configuration/Setup Utility program or from the diagnostic programs.
