Power-On Self-Test (POST)

Each time you power-on the system, it performs a series of tests that check the operation of the system and some options. This series of tests is called the Power-On Self-Test,orPOST. POST does the following operations.
v Checks some basic system-board operations v Checks the memory operation v Starts the video operation v Verifies that the diskette drive is working v Verifies that the hard disk drive is working
If the POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds and the first screen of the operating system or application program appears.
Note: Type 6568/6569/6648/6649 computers default to come up quiet (no
beep and no memory count and checkpoint code display) when no errors are detected by POST. To enable beep and memory count and checkpoint code display when a successful POST occurs, do the following:
1. Select Start Options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program
(see Setup Utility programon page 41).
2. Set Power-On Self-Test to Enhanced.
If the POST detects a problem, an error message appears on the screen. A single problem can cause several error messages to appear. When you correct the cause of the first error message, the other error messages probably will not appear on the screen the next time you turn on the system.

POST beep codes

The Power-On Self-Test generates a beeping sound to indicate successful completion of POST or to indicate that the tests detect an error.
Chapter 2. Types 6568/6569/6648/6649 33
One beep and the appearance of text on the display indicates successful completion of the POST. More than one beep indicates that the POST detects an error.

Error code format

This section provides an explanation of the encoded non-SCSI and SCSI POST error codes.
Error messages are displayed on the screen as three, four, five, eight, twelve, or thirteen digits. An X in an error message can be any number or letter. The shorter POST errors are highlighted in the Symptom-to-FRU Index. Some digits will represent different information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI errors.
The following figure shows which digits display the shorter POST errors. The figure also defines additional SCSI information.

Security features

Security features in this section include the following:
v Passwords v Vital Product Data v Management Information Format (MIF) v Alert on LAN
Passwords
The following section provides information about computer hardware and software-related passwords.
v Power-on Password v Administrator Password v Operating System Password
Power-on and Administrator passwords are set in the Setup Utility program. See Setup Utility programon page 41 for information about running the Setup Utility.
Power-on password: A power-on password denies access to the computer by an unauthorized user when the computer is powered on. When a power-on password is active, the password prompt appears on the screen each time the computer is powered on. The computer starts after the proper password is entered.
Removing a power-on password: To service a computer with an active and unknown power-on password, power-off the computer and use the following procedure.
Note
On some models, this procedure will also remove the administrator password.
1. Unplug the power cord and remove the top cover.
2. Refer to A40 and A40P system board layouton page 67 to find the
recovery jumper.
3. Move the recovery jumper from normal to clear.
4. Power-on the computer. The system senses the change in the position and
erases the password. It is necessary to move the jumper back to the previous position.
5. Remind the user to enter a new password when service is complete.
46 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM NetVista Computer Types 6058, 6059, 6269, 6568, 6569, 6578, 6579, 6648,
6649
Administrator password: The administrator password is used to restrict access to the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the administrator password is activated, and you do not enter the administrator password, the configuration can be viewed but not changed.
Note
Type 6568/6569/6648/6649 has Enhanced Security Mode. If Enhanced Security mode is enabled and there is no password given, the computer will act as if Enhanced Security is disabled.
If Enhanced Security is Enabled and an administrator password is given, the administrator password must be entered to use the computer. If the administrator password is lost or forgotten, the system board in the computer must be replaced in order to regain access to the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Administrator password control: The Administrator password is set in the Setup Configuration. Refer to Setup Utility programon page 41.
Operating system password: An operating system password is very similar to a power-on password and denies access to the computer by an unauthorized user when the password is activated. The computer is unusable until the password is entered and recognized by the computer.
Vital product data
Each computer has a unique Vital Product Data (VPD) code stored in the nonvolatile memory on the system board. After you replace the system board, the VPD must be updated. To update the VPD, see Flash (BIOS/VPD) update procedureon page 50.
Management Information Format (MIF)
Management Information Format (MIF) is a file used to maintain a list of the system unit serial number along with all serialized components (for example, system board, riser card, memory, and processor).
At the time of computer manufacture, the EPROM will be loaded with the serial numbers of the system and all major components. The customer will have access to the MIF file via the DMI MIF Browser that is installed with the preload and is also available on the SSCD that is provided with the system.
A company called Retain-a-Group is a central data warehouse offering serial number data management. Retain-a-Group acts as a focal point to law enforcement. The customer has the option to purchase serial number
Chapter 2. Types 6568/6569/6648/6649 47
information and services from Retain-a-Group. It is the customers responsibility to maintain the MIF file and to inform Retain-a-Group of any changes to the file.
Some customers may request their servicers to assist them in maintaining the MIF file when serialized components are replaced during hardware service. This assistance is between the customer and the servicer. The servicer can use the DMI MIF Browser to update the MIF information in the EPROM. It is anticipated that some servicers might charge for this service.
To update the EPROM using the DMI MIF Browser, use the following procedure.
1. Click Start from the desktop, then Programs.
2. Select IBM SystemView Agent
3. Select the Serial Number Information icon
4. Click the plus sign to expand.
5. Select the component you want to view or edit.
6. Double click on the component you want to change.
7. Enter new data in the Value field, then click Apply.
Alert on LAN
Alert on LAN provides notification of changes in the computer, even when the computer power is turned off. Working with DMI and Wake on LAN
®
technologies, Alert on LAN helps to manage and monitor the hardware and software features of the computer. Alert on LAN generates notifications to the server of these occurrences:
v Computer disconnected from the network v Computer unplugged from the power outlet v All POST errors v Operating system or POST hang condition
Alert on LAN events are configured to be Enabled or Disabled from the LAN server only, and not from the computer. See the LAN administrator for configuration status information.

Symptom-to-FRU index

The Symptom-to-FRU index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Always begin with General checkouton page 26. See Chapter 1. IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics error codeson page 1 when running diagnostics. This index can also be used to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing a computer. If you are unable to correct the problem using this index, go to Undetermined problemson page 90.
Notes
v If you have both an error message and an incorrect audio response,
diagnose the error message first.
v If you cannot run the diagnostic tests or you get a diagnostic error
code when running a test, but did receive a POST error message, diagnose the POST error message first.
v If you did not receive any error message, look for a description of
your error symptoms in the first part of this index.
v Check all power supply voltages before you replace the system board.
(See Power supplyon page 30.)
v Check the hard disk drive jumper settings before you replace a hard
disk drive. (See Hard disk drive jumper settingson page 48.)
Important
1.
Some errors are indicated with a series of beep codes (see Beep symptomson page 70).
Type 6568/6569/6648/6649 computers default to come up quiet (no beep and no memory count and checkpoint code display) when no errors are detected by POST. To enable beep and memory count and checkpoint code display when a successful POST occurs, do the following:
a. Select Start Options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program
(see Setup Utility programon page 41).
b. Set Power-On Self-Test to Enhanced.
2. The processor is a separate FRU from the system board; the processor
is not included with the system board FRU.
