4 Summary of the HP/Phoenix BIOS

HP/Phoenix BIOS (BIOS version: GX.07.xx)

Beep Codes (BIOS version: GX.07.xx)

If a terminal error occurs during POST, the system issues a beep code before
attempting to display the error. Beep codes are useful for identifying the
error when the system is unable to display the error message.

Beep Pattern

Numeric
Code

Description

This does not indicate an error.
There is one short beep before system
startup.

Video configuration failure or
Option ROMs checksum failure

16H

20H

DRAM refresh test failure

22H

8742 Keyboard controller test failure

RAM failure

RAM failure on data bits in low byte of
memory bus
