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 manufac-
turer 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 num-
ber of beeps for the corresponding error.
