When power is first applied, initial self tests
are performed by built it ROM routines and special processor on the system
planar board. These self tests should complete with in 1-2 minutes.
The tests labeled 'fatal' indicate that if this code remains for more than
five minutes, indicates that component has failed.
Numbers display on the two-digit display to track the
progress of the POST programs. Some tests may run so quickly that the numbers
may not be visible.
Note: I have seen tests 14,15,16
and 17 last for up to three to four minutes, depending on the number
of hard disks and/or floppy drives connected to the installed adapters.

Notes:
The following chart is for "steady" numbers only. Flashing (about
one second) numbers are for software failures. See page 2-19 for flashing
numbers during the diagnostic checkouts.
When u is shown in the chart, it is displayed in the upper
half of the two-digit display.
