Power On Self Test (POST)
POST
As standard the Phoenix POST is used, which monitors the functioning of
the standard PC AT components of the master board. The Phoenix POST
has been expanded by some function tests so that POS-specific functions
can also be tested.
The error messages are displayed on the user display, the external user
display or the VGA monitor. The user display and the monitor have high
priority; with the VGA card inserted the messages are always displayed on
the monitor. Error messages are displayed on the external user display
only if there is no monitor and no user display.
Display of the error messages on the user display has the following format:
TEST POS TEST TYPE ERROR NUMBER
Error text
In the test, the error messages are displayed in English. The following is
an example of the display of an error message at the user display:
TEST POS MC 02
BATTERY EMPTY
ANY KEY TO RETRY
Static errors are accurately localized with the POST, though sporadic er-
rors can be determined only to a limited extent.
If POST signals an error, please contact your appropriate technician or Cu-
stomer Service. Below is a list of MS-DOS critical errors and the POST er-
ror messages.
