Post Codes - Acer Aspire S3 MS2346 Service Manual

POST Codes

There are two types of POST codes: Progress Codes and Error Codes. Progress Codes are
designed to show the execution point while booting or executing services. Error Codes are
designed to halt on exceptional (fatal) error conditions.
Component Codes
The Component Code is an unsigned integer value that is assigned by the build process. The
following tables describe the various ranges of component codes:
The Component Code is assigned to an individual component (or driver) using the
POSTCODE= option in the DSC file. If the value that follows POSTCODE= is a hexadecimal
or decimal number, in the range 0x00-0xdf, then that code will be used with all POST Codes
associated with that driver.
