LED POST: POST
This LED tells the POST (Power on self test) process. The regular POST processes
are: CPU => DRAM => MCH => ICH => CLK => VGA => LOGO (or POST) => ATA =>
MSIJ . W hen the POST is complete, the necessary hardware of the system is de-
tected and found to function properly, the LED displays "MSIJ ". If the LED stops
showing the message in sequence, or does not show the "MSIJ" at last, that mean
there is something wrong with the system, In this case, the showing message tells
the hardware not being detected or is not functioning properly. Please refer to the
