Chapter 2 - Power On Self Test (POST)

INTRODUCTION

This chapter lists the subassemblies checked by the Power On Self Test (POST)

and briefly describes the types of error codes that can occur. The chapter

also includes problem isolation procedures and a flowchart for quick

reference.

Chapter 2.1 POST

POST is a series of diagnostic tests that runs automatically on the

COMPAQ SLT 386s/20 and COMPAQ SLT/286 Personal Computers when the computers

are turned on.

POST checks the following subassemblies to ensure that the computer system is

functioning properly:

o System Board

o System Memory

o Memory Boards

o Keyboard

o Controller Circuitry

o VGA Backlit Display (Monitor)

o Fixed Disk Drives

o Diskette Drives

POST also detects the type of mass storage devices installed in the computer.

If POST finds an error in the computer, an error condition is indicated by an

audible and/or visual message. See Chapter 3, "Error Messages and Codes," for

an explanation of the error codes and a recommended course of action.

Chapter 2.2 PRELIMINARY STEPS

If you encounter an error condition, complete the following steps before

starting the problem isolation procedures:

1. Turn off power to the computer. Do not remove the battery pack.

2. Disconnect any external devices (leave the AC Adapter attached). Do not

disconnect the printer if you want to test the printer or use it to log

error messages.

3. Install all appropriate loopback plugs and terminating plugs for complete

testing.

4. Clear the power on password, if it is preset by the user.

NOTE: The COMPAQ SLT 386s/20 has a power on password feature. You will

know that the power on password is set when a key icon (o--m) appears

on the screen when POST completes. If this occurs, you must enter the

password to continue.

If you do not have access to the password, you must disable the power on

password feature by resetting the password switch on the system board (see

section 2.3, "Clearing Power On Password").

5. Position the brightness and contrast controls approximately in the center

of their range.

6. Insert the DIAGNOSTICS diskette into drive A.

7. Turn on the computer.

8. Follow the procedures of the Problem Isolation Flowchart in section 2.4.

Refer to Chapter 3, "Error Messages and Codes," for detailed information on

problem isolation.

Chapter 2.3 CLEARING POWER ON PASSWORD

To clear the power on password feature on the COMPAQ SLT 386s/20, disable the

power on password by resetting the system board switch. To do so, complete

the following steps:

1. Disconnect the AC power.

2. Disassemble the computer to reach the system board (refer to Chapter 5).

3. Locate switch SW1 on the system board (Figure 2-1).

4. Change switch SW1-2 to the ON position (disable).

5. Reassemble the computer (refer to Chapter 5); then reconnect the AC power.

6. Turn on the computer and allow it to complete POST. If the key icon

(o--m) does not appear when POST completes, the power on password has

been cleared.

To reset or enable the power on password switch, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC power.

2. Disassemble the computer to reach the system board (refer to Chapter 5).

3. Reset switch SW1-2 to the OFF position (enable).

4. Reassemble the computer.

5. Reconnect the AC power and turn on the computer.

IMPORTANT: If the power on password switch is not reset to its original

position, it will be impossible to reestablish the password.
