Chapter 6:  BIOS Utilities

Chapter 6:  BIOS Utilities

In this chapter you will learn about the Power On Self Test (POST)

and how to configure the system parameters using the System Configura-
tion Utility (SCU).

Power on Self Test (POST)

The system BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) performs a series of

tests on the system memory and key computer components every time the
computer is powered on.  These tests are called the Power On Self Test
(POST).  Should an error exist, the POST routine may halt execution
(depending on the problem).  If no error exists, the POST will initialize the
BIOS configuration, and boot (start) the operating system.

POST Message: Normal Operation
You will see the following message if no error exists after the POST is
performed
