2.4.2 POST Conditions and Results
POST is the default mode of self-test for Emulex HBAs. No jumpers or connectors are necessary for this test to run. This
test performs a quick confidence level check of the HBA when it is powered on, and before it runs the operational software.
At a minimum, the following tests are performed by POST:
Flash boot image checksum test
Internal ASIC RAM tests for proper ECC parity operation
Loopback test
