Port 80h Power On Self Test (POST) Codes
During the POST, the BIOS generates diagnostic progress codes (POST codes) to I/O
port 80h. If the POST fails, execution stops and the last POST code generated is left
at port 80h. This code is useful for determining the point where an error occurred.
Displaying the POST codes on a medium such as a seven-segment display, requires a
POST card that can interface with the Low Pin Count (LPC) Debug header or a POST
card that can be installed in one of the Conventional PCI connectors. Refer to the
location of the LPC Debug header in Figure 1.
The following tables provide information about the POST codes generated by the BIOS:
•
Table 50 lists the Port 80h POST code ranges
•
Table 51 lists the Port 80h POST codes themselves
•
Table 52 lists the Port 80h POST sequence
NOTE
In the tables listed above, all POST codes and range values are listed in hexadecimal.
Table 51. Port 80h POST Code Ranges
Range
