1615 post error

[jason_392]

when my proliant boots with only 1 of the dual power supplies plugged in, I get a message stating something like:
1615 - Power Supply Failure, Power Supply Unplugged.

and if I press "F1" it boots just fine off one power supply.. Is there an option in the bios somewhere to ignore this error and boot up without keyboard intervention?

Some servers requires two power supply's depend from internal components, however, when you say "with only 1 of the dual power supplies plugged in" â what you mind power supply is installed, but not plugged? If power cord disconnected; PS will report problems, it's a Smart componen

If you are only wanting 1 power supply I'd pull the one you aren't using out. This will get rid of the message.

If you want to leave it in...You can go into the F10 setup. At the second screen (white & blue with 4 choices one of which is System Config Utility) press . This will enable advanced mode. Run the Sys Config - review or edit details - there is a place about half way through the screen the says something along the lines of an Disable F1 prompt. It will still come up - however it times out after a few seconds.

The easier thing would be to pop the unneeded power supply out. :)

yeah, dave, this is exactly what I want.. Im booting the smartstart 5.5 CD because I dont have the system utilities partition (running freebsd). Anyway Im running the system config, version 2.58A and I do not see an option to
Disable F1 prompt.

Do I need an updated firmware maybe?

[John Mc Bride]

When the system configuration loads press Ctrl + A to get into advanced options, from there you can disable the F1 prompt.
Not advisable for long term use.

ok, so I boot from the smartstart CD, it gives me the options

1. system config util 2. rompaq, 3. add system partition 4. etc..
I choose 1. system config utility
while im in there, I dont see a ctrl-a option.

but I do see a F7 (advanced options) which brings up the following 3 options
1.Lock/unlock boards
2.view additional system information menu
3. set verification mode menu

Ive looked in all 3 and dont see a place to disable the F1 at boot.

regards,
JAson

so nobody know how to do this from the smart-start CD or am I missing something simple?
