The Power-On Self Test (POST)
Each time you turn on the computer, the system takes a few seconds to conduct a
POST, including a quick test of the on-board RAM (memory). The screen below
will appear if you have enabled the Boot-time Diagnostic Screen (see
“Boot-time
Diagnostic Screen: (Advanced Menu)” on page 5 - 10 ).
As the POST proceeds, the computer will tell you if there is anything wrong. If there
is a problem that prevents the system from booting, it will display a system summary
and prompt you to run Setup. If there are no problems, the Setup prompt will disap-
pear and the system will load the operating system. Once that starts, you can’t get
into Setup without rebooting.

pear slightly different. If
you disable the Boot-
time Diagnostic Screen,
the POST screen will not
appear.
