Power-On Self Test
The POST (Power-On Self Test) is a software controlled diagnostic
test tool, which is a set of routines stored in a computer's ROM
(read-only memory) that tests various system components such
as the memory, disk drives, and the keyboard to see whether

during booting, these routines alert the user by sounding a series
of beeps or displaying a message on the screen.
