2-2 Using Your Computer
At the bottom of this screen, messages like the following
appear:
Press <F2> key to run Setup OR Press ESC to
display POST
NOTE
These messages are part of your system’s
Power-On Self-Test (POST). Your computer is
checking your hardware for any changes since the
last startup. If you want to see the messages
displayed during POST, press ESC. If you want to
go into the Setup Utility, press F2.
One beep indicates that the system has successfully
completed the power-on test. After about 5 seconds,
Windows starts up.
If a problem occurs, a series of beeps may sound. If this
happens repeatedly after powering on, power off the system
and turn to Chapter 8, Solving System Problems. This
chapter provides some helpful hints on obvious system
problems.
NOTE
If the system displays a message indicating
that system settings have changed, run Setup (see
Chapter 4, Using Tools and Utilities).
On PowerMate Enterprise systems loaded with the
