The computer POST (Power On Self Test) tests the computer, insuring that
it meets the necessary system requirements and that all hardware is
working properly before starting the remainder of the boot process. If
the computer passes the POST, the computer will have a single beep (with
some computer BIOS manufacturers it may beep twice) as the computer
starts and it will continue to start normally. However, if the computer
fails the POST, the computer will either not beep at all or will
generate a beep code, which tells the user the source of the problem.
This little utility will help you to lookup these beep codes and figure
out what they represent.

But if the computer fails to boot, how is the user going to take a look
at those beep codes? ;-)
