Power-On Self Test
Overview
• Hard reset—If a client had execution control before the hard reset, it
invokes POST to initialize the hardware. POST restarts execution
and reinitializes all hardware.
• Soft reset—If a soft reset condition has occurred while POST was
executing, POST restarts execution but does not initialize main
memory. It invokdes its interactive prompt.
