Interpreting POST diagnostics

The Power-On-Self-Test (POST) is a system diagnostic program (stored in the BIOS) that runs
each time the 703t server is started. The function of POST is to test system components and
then to display status messages.
POST reports on the system status using POST beep codes. If an error occurs before video
initialization, POST emits beep codes that indicate errors in hardware, software, or firmware.
A beep code is a series of separate tones, each equal in length. Record the beep codes that
you hear before calling your Avaya customer support representative.
Important:
Some POST beep codes are critical and require you to replace your motherboard. Refer to
the tables in this section for more information about beep codes.

Types of beep codes

There are three types of beep codes on the 703t server:
• BIOS recovery beep codes (during a BIOS recovery procedure)
• bootblock error beep codes (for normal operation)
• bootblock error 3-beep codes (for normal operation)
