The following table lists the POST error beep codes. Prior to system video initialization, the
BIOS uses these beep codes to inform users on error conditions. The beep code is followed by
a user-visible code on the POST Progress LEDs.

POST Error Beep Code
The Integrated BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep
codes are sounded each time the problem is discovered, such as on each power-up attempt,
but are not sounded continuously. Codes that are common across all Intel
®
Server Boards and
Systems that use same generation chipset are listed in the following table. Each digit in the
code is represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal to the digit.
