Resolving The Problem
Source: Hardware Maintenance Manual
Remote POST Console: You can use the Advanced System Management Remote POST Console function to remotely monitor, record, and replay all textual output generated during POST. To monitor and record the POST data on a remote system:
1. Connect to the remote system's system management subsystem.
2. Open the Remote POST window.
3. Restart the remote system (using the Advanced System Management's System Power Control functions).
All POST data will be displayed in and recorded by the Remote POST Console as the remote system completes POST. While you are monitoring POST on a remote system, all local keystrokes are relayed automatically to the remote system, enabling you to interact with the POST process on the remote system.
To review data after POST completes, disconnect from the remote system and use the Replay functions.

Use the selections available in the Replay pull-down menu to replay the textual output that was captured during the last Remote POST operation. All text that was displayed by the remote system during POST will be displayed as it appeared on the remote system.
- To begin playing the recorded POST data, or to resume playing the recorded POST data after stopping playback, click on Replay Last POST.
- To halt playback of the recorded POST data, click on Stop.
- To resume viewing the recorded POST data from the beginning, click on Restart.
- Select Fast, Medium, or Slow to specify the speed at which the recorded POST data is displayed in the Remote POST window.
| NOTE: Remote POST data can be replayed only when you are not connected to a remote system's system management subsystem. |
