⒈ SYNOPSIS

The card is named POST (Power On Self Test ) card too, it could
display the error code by the result of POST ,then you would soon
determine cause of the error by error codes table. Especially when the PC
can’t boot operating system, or it is a black screen, or the card and
motherboard couldn’t issue an audible beep. It is a powerful diagnostic
tool. Now just use it, you’ll get twice the result with half the effort.

When the power is turned on, the BIOS first would have a strict
test with system circuit、memory、keyboard、video、hard disc、floppy
drive and so on. It analyzes the system configuration and initializes the
base I/O setup. At last when all is normal, it boots the operating
system .The obvious feature of testing crucial components is demarcate
by curse’s appearing .At first, the BIOS tests the crucial components .If
the testing is abnormal, the computer stopped compulsively; The curse
cannot appear in the screen; There is no response to the screen. The
BIOS tests common components afterwards .If the testing is abnormal,
the computer continues to run and displays the information of error.
When there is some trouble with the computer and the testing is
abnormal, especially the testing crucial component, no displaying in the
screen, the black screen, you can put the Post card in the expansive
slot .You will know the cause of the trouble by the code that the card
indicates and the error codes table of this manual.

⒉ Description of LED displays

LED
Signal Description
IRDY
Main equipments
is ready

The LED sparkles when there is a IRDY
signal.

BIOS
Base input/output
signals

As long as the CPU is reading to BIOS when
the board is on powered, the LED sparkles.

FRAME
Frame periods
It is cycle frame signal of PCI slot. The LED
should be on, As long as the Power is on
after you plug the card in the PCI slot on the
main board. The LED sparkles when the
FRAME si
gnal is coming. Or else there is no

FRAME signal. Lights all the time.

OSC
Oscillation
signal

It is oscillation signal of ISA slot. The LED
should be on, As long as the Power is on after you
plug the card in the ISA slot on the main board.
Or else the crystal oscillation circuit is broken,
and there is no OSC signal.

CLK
Bus clock
As long as the main board is on power after you
plug the card in either PCI slot or ISA slot, the
LED is on. or else there is no bus clock signal.

RESET
Resetting
signal

The LED ought to have been on for half second
since you press the power switch or the reset
switch. If it is on all the time, please check
whether the resetting pin connects to the
accelerating switch or makes up a short circuit or
there is some trouble with the resetting circuit.

12V
Power
The LED should be on, As long as the Power is
on after you plug the card in the slot. Or else
there is no voltage of 12V or there is short circuit.

-12V
Power
The LED should be on, As long as the Power is
on after you plug the card in the slot. Or else
there is no voltage of-12V or there is short circuit.

5V
Power
The LED should be on, As long as the Power is
on after you plug the card in the slot. Or else
there is no voltage of 5V or there is short circuit.

-5V
Power
The LED should be on, As long as the Power is
on after you plug the card in the ISA slot. Or else
there is no voltage of-5V or there is short circuit.
(There is own -5V of ISA slot.)

3V3
Power
There is the proper voltage of 3V3 of the PCI
volt. The LED should be on, As long as the
Power is on after you plug the card in the PCI
slot, but sometimes the LED may be off by the
reason that there is no voltage of 3V3 of a few
PCI slot or there is open circuit.
