Start-Up Problems
A built-in checking program will automatically test its components when you turn the notebook
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.
