POST does the following:

•Checks basic system board operations

•Checks the memory operation

•Compares the current system configuration with that established by the IBM Setup Utility program

•Starts the video operation

•Verifies that the diskette drives are working

•Verifies that the hard disk drive and the optical drive are working

POST error codes are displayed when POST detects problems with or changes to the hardware configuration during startup. POST error messages are 3-, 4-, 5-, 8-, or 12-character alphanumeric messages and include brief explanations.
