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.
