Description | Troubleshooting Preliminary Steps
Before running POST, complete the following steps: 1. If a power-on password has been established, type the password and press Enter. If the password is not known, clear the password. 2. Ensure the hard drive is installed in the computer. 3. Ensure that the battery pack is installed in the computer and the power cord is connected to the computer and plugged into an external AC power source. 4. Turn on the computer. 6. Turn off the computer and its external devices. 7. Disconnect any external devices that you do not want to test. If you want to use the printer to log error messages, leave it connected to the computer.
8. Use Compaq Utilities and loopback plugs in the serial and parallel connectors if you plan to test these ports. When the preliminary steps are completed, you are ready to run POST.
