Power-On Self Test (POST)
Running POST
To run POST, turn off the computer, then turn it back on.
If POST does not detect any errors, the computer will not beep. This indicates successful
completion of POST test. POST has run successfully and boots from the hard drive (or from a
bootable diskette if one is installed in the diskette drive).
If POST detects errors, the errors are indicated by screen and/or audible messages. Refer to
the following tables for a list of POST codes and their relevant descriptions. If there is more
than one recommended action, only try the later actions in the list if the first action
recommended does not solve the problem.
NOTE:
If the system is not functioning well enough to run POST, or if the
display is not functioning well enough to show POST error messages,
refer to the Troubleshooting tables.
