Check the POST Error History
The system board retains the last three POST error codes in a POST Error
History saved in CMOS memory. Each time a POST error code is detected
at the power-on/power-off cycle, it is added to the bottom of the list in the
POST Error History.
Most recent error
code is listed
at bottom
Figure 2-7. POST Error History Example
To view the POST Error History:
Note: The POST Error History can be accessed only during the initial long
POST when the POST Configuration icon appears.
Ÿ
Press F9 while the POST Configuration icon appears.
Ÿ
If any POST errors are recorded, the POST Error History is displayed
with the most-recent error shown at the bottom of the list.
To check for the error again, repeat the above steps to add the error to the
list once more. You should see the same POST error code listed in the last
two lines of the POST Error History.
