                            POWER EXEC AND FULL POST TEST

    In order to avoid errors when initiating the full post tests on the Power
    Exec:

    Wait 2 seconds after the AST logo appears at boot-up before using  to
    cause a complete Power On Self Test (POST.)  Do not repeatedly enter
    after the AST logo appears.  During the crucial machine startup timing, one
    to three entries of the hot key suffice.
