Viewing Post Codes
Post codes are progress indicators from the system BIOS, indicating various stages of the boot sequence
from power-on-reset, and allows you to diagnose any faults related to system boot-up. The Post Codes
page displays the last system post code prior to booting the operating system.
To view the Post Codes, go to Overview → Server → Troubleshooting → Post Code.
The Post Code page displays the system health indicator, a hexadecimal code, and a description of the
code.
Viewing Boot and Crash Capture Videos
You can view the video recordings of:
• Last three boot cycles — A boot cycle video logs the sequence of events for a boot cycle. The boot
cycle videos are arranged in the order of latest to oldest.
• Last crash video — A crash video logs the sequence of events leading to the failure.
This is a licensed feature.
iDRAC records fifty frames during boot time. Playback of the boot screens occur at a rate of 1 frame per
second. If iDRAC is reset, the boot capture video is not available as it is stored in RAM and is deleted.
NOTE: You must have Access Virtual Console or administrator privileges to playback the Boot
Capture and Crash Capture videos.
To view the Boot Capture screen, click Overview → Server → Troubleshooting → Video Capture.
The Video Capture screen displays the video recordings. For more information, see the iDRAC Online
Help.
