Using Your System 2-15
During the boot-up process, the system performs Power-On
Self-Test (POST) diagnostic tests that check major
hardware components, such as memory and interface
circuits. It compares the hardware it finds with parameters
last saved by the Setup utility.
Several configuration messages appear on the screen during
POST. If POST finds any discrepancies between the
parameters it finds and the parameters last saved, it displays
an error message. The system then prompts you to run the
Setup utility to correct the configuration.
If POST does not find any discrepancies in its configuration
test, the computer loads system files into memory.
Once the system files are loaded, the system automatically
loads Microsoft Windows for Workgroups.
Your system is ready for use.
