POST Checkpoint Codes POST is performed by the BIOS when the computer is reset or booted. POST tests and initializes key components. When a POST routine completes, a code is written to I/O port address 80h. Display this code by attaching diagnostic equipment to I/O port address 0080h.
Power On Self Test POST Phases Every time the system is power on, BIOS executes two types of POST routines: Test and initialize BIOS for normal System Test and Initialization operations. System Configuration Verification Compare defined configuration with hardware actually installed. BIOS Error Reporting If an error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of audio beeps will be emitted to indicate that a fatal error is detected.
Page 34
If an error occurs after the display device is initialized, the error message is displayed. A prompt to press <F1> will appear with the displayed error message. Error Message Explanation 8042 Gate - A20 Error Gate A20 on the keyboard controller (8042) is not working.
