John is using a POST card to diagnose a hardware issue on the server. Which of the following POST card operational modes should he use to enable the POST card to initialize itself, without assistance from the server board's BIOS?

Basic diagnostics mode
Extended diagnostics mode
Forced start mode
Self start mode

Explanation

Answer - C - John should use the forced start mode to enable the POST card to initialize itself, without assistance from the server board’s BIOS.
