POST — T ESTING THE SYSTEM
Each time the system is powered on, it automatically performs a Power-On-Self-Test (POST). The POST tests major
system hardware and checks the system configuration.
Error beeps and messages If the system can’t pass the POST, an error beep or message may be issued or displayed.
This will indicate the problem with the system.
If any major component malfunctions, send the notebook to the nearest service center for replacement.
NO ERRORS FOUND DURING THE POST
The BIOS will initialize the video, sound a single short beep, and show a message if the system passes the POST.
The system then will attempt to boot. If there is a problem which prevents the system from booting, it will tell you
to run Setup. A sample screen message is shown below.
