Computing Unit Self-Test Prior to Booting
After switching on the SIMATIC PC a self-test is initiated (POST = Power On Self
Test). If errors are detected during the POST, the corresponding sequence of
POST beeps (beep code) are issued. Each beep code consists of 2 x 2
sequences.
In addition, the individual test steps which the self-test executes, are issued on the
I/O port 80h.
