Compaq LTE Elite User Manual

If POST does not detect any errors, the computer beeps once or twice to
indicate that POST has run successfully and starts (boots) from the hard
drive (or from a bootable diskette if one is installed in the diskette
drive).
If POST detects errors, the errors are indicated by screen and/or audible
messages. Refer to "Power-On Self-Test (POST) Error Messages" in this
section for a list of POST error messages, probable causes, and recommended
actions.
Run Computer Checkup after POST runs successfully (Section 2.3).
NOTE: If the system is not functioning well enough to run POST, or if the
display is not functioning well enough to show POST error messages,
refer to the troubleshooting tables in Section 2.4.
