If POST Beeps Before
Video Appears

Initialization failed before video initialized. Most beep code
errors are fatal; initialization cannot continue. Refer to the

Note error; press F1 to continue boot or F2 to enter Setup.
Refer to the section “BIOS User’s Information” in this chapter.

Setup changes specific options, then writes to CMOS,
NVRAM. Press F2 during initialization to run Setup. If you do
not press F2, the boot process continues.

Enter BOOT Diskette

If prompted, insert the boot diskette.

As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each mass
storage device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity indicator
should turn on briefly. Check for the following:

!

 

Does the diskette drive activity indicator turn on briefly? If not, refer to “Diskette
Drive Activity Indicator Does Not Light” in this chapter.

If there is a hard disk drive or SCSI devices installed in the system, does the hard
disk drive activity indicator turn on briefly? If not, refer to “Hard Disk Drive
Activity Indicator Does Not Light” in this chapter.

Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt appears on the screen. The
prompt varies according to the operating system. If the operating system prompt does
not appear, refer to “Problems with Application Software” found later in this chapter.
