POST and Boot Messages
The POST displays messages to alert to errors in hardware, software, and firmware or to provide operating
information about the computer.
Each time the POST displays a message on the screen, the computer's speaker beeps twice. If an error occurs
before the monitor is initialized, specific beep codes sound to alert to a problem. The table below lists a general
grouping of system messages arranged by the POST countdown number. In addition, each message is
accompanied by text describing the message and in most cases a recommended solution to the problem.
NOTE Italics indicate variable parts of a message such as memory addresses, hexadecimal
values, and so on. These messages can differ at each occurrence.
