The Power-On Self Test (POST)

Each time you turn on the computer, the system takes a few seconds
to conduct a POST , including a quick test of the on-board RAM.
As the POST proceeds, the computer will tell you if there is anything
wrong. If there is a problem which prevents the system from booting,
5
it will display a system summary and prompt you to run Setup .
If there are no problems, the SCU ( System Configuration Utility )
prompt will disappear and the system will load the operating system.
Once that starts, you can't get into the SCU without rebooting the
computer.
