Filer startup messages

Startup sequence

When you apply power to the filer, it verifies which hardware is attached to the system, loads the operating system, and displays two types of startup messages on the console:

Power-On Self-Test (POST) messages
Boot messages

POST messages

Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a series of tests run from the motherboard PROM. These tests check the hardware on the motherboard and differ depending on your system configuration. The following series of messages are examples of POST messages displayed on the console.
