Minimum System Requirements; The Post Test - GE PACSystems RXi-XP IPC Hardware Reference Manual

3.5 Minimum System Requirements

The RXi Box IPC-XP has been thoroughly tested, and is nearly ready for usage in the target system. In order to
verify RXi Box IPC-XP operation for the first time, it is suggested that you only configure a minimal system. It is
not necessary to have disk drives, a Flash disk or other accessories connected in order to perform the RXi Box
IPC-XP POWER-ON-SELF-TEST (POST).

3.5.1 THE POST TEST

Each time the computer boots up it must pass the POST (Power-On Self-Test). The following is the procedure of
the POST:
― CPU must exit the reset status mode and thereafter be able to execute instructions
― SPI Flash ROM and NVRAM was readable
― Checksum must be valid, meaning that it must be readable.
― CMOS checksum must be valid, meaning that it must be readable
― CPU must be able to read all forms of memory such as the memory controller, memory bus, and
memory module
― The first 64 KB of memory must be operational and have the capability to be read and written to
and from, and capable of containing the POST code
― I/O bus / controller must be accessible
― I/O bus must be able to write / read from the video subsystem and be able to read all video RAM
If the computer does not pass any of the above tests, the board will fail the POST.
