Power On Self Test (POST)
The system BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
performs a series of tests on the system memory
and key computer components every time the
computer is powered on. These tests are called the
Power On Self Test (POST). Should an error exist,
the POST routine may halt execution (depending
on the problem). If no error exists, the POST will
initialize the BIOS configuration, and boot (start)
the operating system.
POST Message: Normal Operation
You will see the following screen if no error exists
after the POST is performed:
