The Power-On Self-Test (POST)
The Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a series of software-controlled
diagnostic tests that run when you turn on or restart your Notebook PC.
The software that controls the POST is installed as a permanent part of
the Notebook PC’s architecture.
Using POST to access BIOS and Troubleshoot
During POST, you can access the BIOS settings or run troubleshooting
options using the function keys of your Notebook PC. You may refer to
the following information for more details.
BIOS
The Basic Input and Output System (BIOS) stores system hardware

An error message appears onscreen during system bootup and
requests you to run the BIOS Setup.

BIOS settings or updates.
WARNING:
Using inappropriate BIOS settings may result to system
instability or boot failure. We strongly recommend that you change the
BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service personnel.
