Power-On Self-Test (6.1.7)

When a server is booted, the BIOS performs a hardware test known as a Power-On Self-Test (POST). The POST is a diagnostic test that verifies that the server hardware is working correctly. Regardless of the BIOS manufacturer, it is good practice to learn the beeps that the POST produces during server hardware initialization. It is recommended to keep an eye on components, such as processors, RAM, and graphics cards, as these are the first three components to be examined by a POST. If any of these are faulty, then your server boot fails.
