POWER-ON SELF-TEST (POST)
Each time the system is powered on, the system checks the working status of components
through an automatic power-on self-test (POST). The test checks the system configuration
for any discrepancies. One beep means that POST is successful. If any problems in data
transfer or hardware exist, an error message appears.
If the message is an Invalid Configuration message, press
F2
to enter the Setup utility. The
system collects Setup data and lists the changes detected in the current parameter settings,
that can be seen in Standard CMOS Setup. Press
Enter
to review the settings, and make
any necessary corrections.
If no error messages appear but the system still malfunctions, check the items in the list
below.
The Power button for each peripheral is on.
All cables and power cords are tightly connected.
The electrical outlet is working.
All options have been properly installed.
NOTE
If the system parameters (date, time, options, etc.)
have not been entered for the present configuration, enter
them when you complete the setup procedures (see “Sys-
tem Parameters” in this section).
