POST Errors Message Definition

Whenever a non-fatal error occurs during POST, an error message describing the problem appears
onscreen. These text messages are displayed in normal video (white text on black background). It
shows the details of the error. The following is an example of a POST error message:
Error message 1 of 1: Error code 0103
Keyboard not detected - Keyboard error
In some cases an error message may include recommendations for troubleshooting or require that you
press the Enter key to display recommendations. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Table 14 Lists the most common POST error messages with their corresponding troubleshooting
recommendation.
It is recommended that you correct the error before proceeding, even if the server appears to boot
successfully. If your system displays one of the messages marked below with an asterisk (*), write
down the code and message and contact your HP Customer Support provider.
When no POST error message is displayed but the server stops during POST, listen for beep codes.
