Appendix A
BIOS Error Beep Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed whenever
the system is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors
are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue
with the boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors
are those which will not allow the system to continue with bootup. If
a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for pos-
sible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.
