POWER-ON SELF-TEST (POST)

Each time the system is powered on, the system checks the working status of components
through an automatic power-on self-test (POST). The test checks the system configuration
for any discrepancies. One beep means that POST is successful. If any problems in data
transfer or hardware exist, an error message appears.
If the message is an Invalid Configuration message, press F1 to enter Auto Setup. The
system collects Auto Setup data and lists the changes detected in the current parameter
settings. Press Enter to review the settings, and make any necessary corrections. For more
complete information, see "Using Auto Setup to Select Parameters."
If no error messages appear but the system still malfunctions, check the items in the list
