Appendix A
BIOS Error Beep Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed
each time the system is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to
continue the boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on
the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the
boot-up procedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your
system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible
beeps. The numbers on the fatal error list, on the following page,
correspond to the number of beeps for the corresponding error. All
errors listed, with the exception of Beep Code 8, are fatal errors.
POST codes may be read on the debug LEDs located beside the LAN port
on the motherboard backplane. See the description of the Debug LEDs
(LED1 and LED2) in Section 2-6.
