Page 71: To Start Post Diagnostics
POST detects most system faults and is located in the motherboard OpenBoot™ PROM. POST can be set to run by the OpenBoot program at power up by setting two environment variables, the diag-switch? and the diag-level flag, which are stored on the system configuration card. POST runs automatically when the system power is applied, or following an automatic system reset, if all of the following conditions apply: diag-switch? is set to true (default is false) -
