eight-digit binary value for boot mode. Figure 2-2 shows the printer port LED.

To use the printer port LED follow these steps:
1.
Turn on the power, then set to boot mode.
2.
Turn off the power.
3.
Plug the printer port LED into the parallel port.
4.
Hold down the space bar and turn on the power.
5.
Read the LED status from left to right as you are facing the back of the computer.
6.
Convert the status from binary to hexadecimal notation.
7.
If the final LED status is FFh (normal status), go to Procedure 3.
8.
If the final LED status matches any of the test status values in Table 2-1, perform
Check 1.
NOTE
: If an error condition is detected by the IRT test, the printer port
LED displays an error code after the IRT test ends. For example, when the
printer port LED displays 1F and halts, the IRT test has already completed
the Display initialization. In this instance, the IRT indicates an error has
been detected during the system memory test.
