BIOS Power-On Self Test
AMIBIOS provides all IBM-standard POST routines as well as enhanced
AMIBIOS POST routines and CPU internal diagnostics. AMIBIOS POST codes
can be accessed via the Manufacturing Test Port (I/O Port 0080h).
POST Phases

phases:
•
System Test and Initialization (test and initialize motherboards
for normal operations), and
•
System Configuration Verification (compare defined configuration
with there hardware actually installed).
