Run Power-on Self Test
Each time you turn on the system, POST starts running. POST checks the carriers, processors,
memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays
the amount of memory it is able to access and test. The length of time needed to test memory
depends on the amount of memory installed. POST is stored in flash memory.
