Start-Up Problems
The notebook has a built-in checking program that automatically tests its components when
you turn the system power on. This diagnostic test is called the Power-On Self-Test (POST). If
the notebook finds a problem during the POST, the notebook displays an error message or
emits a series of beep codes when there are the following conditions:
•
the current configuration information doesn't match configuration information stored in
Auto Setup, such as when an internal option is added.
•
the notebook loses configuration information.
