When you apply power to the your appliance, it verifies the hardware that is in the system, loads the operating system, and displays two types of startup informational and error messages on the system console:
CFE messages occur when an error occurs when the CFE runs through its Power On Self Test (POST). This happens before the Data ONTAP software is loaded.
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.
