Intel Desktop Board DH61CR Technical Product Specification Front-panel Power LED Blink Codes Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS causes the board’s front panel power LED to blink an error message describing the problem (see Table 38). Table 38. Front-panel Power LED Blink Codes...
Error Messages and Beep Codes Port 80h 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 requires a POST card that can interface with the Low Pin Count (LPC) Debug header.
