Diagnostics and Troubleshooting 3-7 Power-On Self-Test Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a series of diagnostic tests that run automatically on Compaq computers when the system is turned on. POST checks the following assemblies to ensure that the computer system is functioning properly: System ROM Keyboard Power supplies System board Memory Controllers Diskette drives Hard drives Fans POST Error Messages If POST finds an error in the system, it issues an audible sound, visual message, or both. If an error code displays on the screen during POST or after resetting the system, follow the instructions in the POST Error Messages table. NOTE: Many of the actions listed require you to run Diagnostics or the Compaq System Configuration Utility. Steps for running these utilities are provided following the POST Error Messages table. The Recommended Action column of the table lists the steps necessary to correct the problem. After completing each step, run the Diagnostics program to verify whether the error condition has been corrected. If the error code reappears, perform the next step, then run the Diagnostics program again. Follow this procedure until Diagnostics no longer detects an error condition.
