Problems with Application Software
If you have problems with application software, do the following:

and operation documentation for instructions on setting up and using the software.
‰Try a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the copy you are using.
‰Make sure all cables are installed correctly.
‰Verify that the baseboard jumpers are set correctly. See “Baseboard Jumpers” on page 151.

Error and Informational Messages
When you turn on the system, POST displays messages that provide information about the system.
If a failure occurs, POST emits beep codes that indicate errors in hardware, software, or firmware.
If POST can display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as
the message appears.
POST Codes and Countdown Codes
The BIOS indicates the current testing phase during POST after the video adapter has been
successfully initialized by outputting a 2-digit hex code to I/O location 80h. If a port-80h ISA
POST board is installed, it displays the 2-digit code on a pair of hex display LEDs.
