POST is the "Power-on Self Test". It takes place right after you start the PC and it tests hardware devices. If some piece fails that test you'll get a serie of beeps. With the POST card (which you insert in a PCI slot) you can locate the piece of hardware by interpreting the beep code (the card comes with a manual with the most common beep codes for different BIOS) | Sounds useless. You can find a description of Award/Phoenix and Ami beep codes on the internet, write them down, and you'll have the same thing + it saves time and money. |
