Viewing progress indicator from previous boot
Learn how to display the boot progress indicator from the previous system boot. You can view the progress indicator that displayed in the control panel during the previous failed boot.
During a successful boot, the previous progress indicator is cleared. If this option is selected after a successful boot, nothing is displayed.
To perform this operation, you must have one of the
following authority levels:
- General
- Administrator
- Authorized service provider
The progress indicator information is stored in nonvolatile memory. If the system is powered off using the power-on button on the control panel, this information is retained. If the ac power is disconnected from the system, this information is lost.
To view the progress indicator from the previous boot, do the following steps:
- On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
- In the navigation area, expand System Information.
- Select Previous Boot Progress Indicator. The results are displayed in the right pane.
