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 they are
properly connected and operating. If problems are found during
booting, these routines alert the user by sounding a series of beeps
or displaying a message on the screen.
