Error Message Utility (EMU)

In the event of an error generated in POST (Power-On-Self-Test)
during the boot process, there are two beeps, then the Error Setup
Manager gives access to one or more detected errors. For each error, a
specific message is displayed on the monitor screen.

NOTE

If the monitor is not available, a short error message is also displayed on the MaxiLife
LCD panel.

EMU is accessed by pressing ENTER. A detailed description of the
reason for the failure and how to solve the problem is displayed. All
errors detected by the POST have an associated EMU message. The
following examples give the different types of error categories.
