4: Solving Problems
•
Verify that the baseboard jumpers are set correctly. See “Changing Jumper Settings”
on page 133.
•
If other software runs correctly on the system, contact your vendor about the failing
software.
If the problem persists, contact the software vendor's customer service representative.
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.
Table 4-2 shows the standard BIOS Port-80 codes.
