Your application programs, the operating system, and the computer itself can provide 
you with diagnostic, error, and status information in the form of indicators that display 
diagnostic codes or messages that appear on the monitor screen. This appendix doc-
uments the diagnostic codes and system messages generated by the system basic 
input/output system (BIOS). For other messages, see the documentation for your 
application program or operating system.

'LDJQRVWLF&RGHV

Your computer is equipped with four diagnostic code indicators, which are labeled 
“A,” “B,” “C,” and “D” on the back of the computer. Each of the four indicators can 
be yellow or green. When the computer is turned on or restarted and the computer is 
functioning normally, the indicators flash at the beginning of the start-up routine. After 
the computer boots (starts), all four of the indicators become green to signify normal 
computer operation.

If a malfunction is detected and the computer fails to boot, the indicators display a 
code that identifies the problem. In this situation, write down the diagnostic code dis-
played and look it up in Table C-1. If the indicators display a code that is not illustrated 
in Table C-1, see Chapter 5, “Contacting Dell,” for instructions on obtaining technical 
assistance.
