Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Each time you turn on the system, the Power-on Self Test (POST) is initiated. Several items are tested during POST, but for
the most part transparent to the user.
The Power-On Self Test (POST) is a BIOS procedure that boots the system, initializes and diagnoses the system components,
and controls the operation of the power-on password option. If POST discovers errors in system operations at power-on, it
displays error messages on screen, generates a check point code at port 80h or even halts the system if the error is fatal.
The main components on the main board that must be diagnosed and/or initialized by POST to ensure system functionality
are as follows:

Microprocessor with built-in numeric co-processor and cache memory subsystem

Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller

Interrupt system

Three programmable timers

ROM subsystem

RAM subsystem
