POST Error Codes and Messages
defines POST error codes and their associated messages. The BIOS prompts the user to
press a key in case of serious errors. Some of the error messages are preceded by the string,
‘Error‘, to indicate that a system that might be malfunctioning. All POST errors and warnings
are logged in the SEL unless it is full.
