Diagnostic POST code LEDs
During the system boot process, BIOS executes a number of platform
configuration processes, each of which is assigned a specific hex code
number. As each configuration routine is started, BIOS will display the
given POST code to the diagnostic POST code LEDs found on the rear of
the mainboard. To assist in troubleshooting a system hang during the
POST process, the diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the last POST
process to be executed.
Each POST code will be represented by a combination of colors from
the four LEDs. The LEDs are capable of displaying three colors: green,
red, and amber. Each bit in the upper nibble is represented by a red
LED and each bit in the lower nibble is represented by a green LED. If
both bits are set in the upper and lower nibbles then both red and
green LEDs are lit, resulting in an amber color. If both bits are clear,
then the LED is off.

The following table lists the possible POST codes that may be displayed
on the Diagnostic POST code LEDs during system initialization.
