Phoenix* check point POST code
Table 30
contains the POST codes displayed during the boot process. A beep code is a series

conditions associated with each beep code and the corresponding POST checks point code as
seen by a ‘port 80h’ card and LCD. For example, if an error occurs at checkpoint 22h, a beep
