4-10 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Diagnostic Output and Beep Codes
One beep indicates that the computer has completed its power-on self-test. If intermittent
beeping occurs, power off the computer and try again. If the beeping persists, see Table
Section 4-4 for diagnostic outputs and beep codes.
The diagnostic port output codes are placed at the diagnostic status port (port 80) to indi-
cate tests in progress and failed tests to someone with hardware that can detect the output.
If the FAILBEEP option is selected, the BEEP CODES are announced on the speaker only
if a fatal failure is detected. For instance, “2-1-4” (a burst of two beeps, a single beep, a
burst of four beeps) indicates a failure of bit 3 in the first 64 K of RAM. Both sets of codes
are only used prior to screen initialization and screen retrace verification. Once the screen is
believed operable, diagnostic reporting is via screen messages, except if MANLOOP EQU
TRUE and the jumpers say to loop on POST. In this case, it is assumed that no video
adapter is attached and some additional errors are reported via the diagnostic port and the
speaker.
