2-2 Using Your Computer
You’ll see several configuration messages display on the
screen at startup. 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. One
beep indicates that the system has successfully completed
the power-on test.
NOTE
You can bypass the POST memory test by
pressing the space bar.
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, If You Have a Problem. 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, NEC Drivers and Utilities).
