Post Test Sequence and Post Error Codes In order to check that the CPU is able to run the BIOS boot code (POST phase) from the first CPU instructions through to DIMM detection, HP MaxiLife firmware waits for a synchronization event from the BIOS. Any failure that prevents the execution of the firmware will therefore trigger the BIOS error and will display the following message on the LCD status panel. Error! BIOS Then, the BIOS executes the Power-On Self Test (POST) sequence. In this phase, HP MaxiLife waits for any error messages that the BIOS may issue.
