Error Beeps and Message Error can occur during POST (Power On Self Test), which is performed every time the system is powered on. Fatal errors are communicated through a series of audible beeps. All errors ex cept Beep Code 8 are fatal errors. Fatal errors do not allow the system to continue the boot process.
AM/BIOS POS T Checkpoint Codes POST is performed by the BIOS when the system is reset or rebooted. POST performs diagnostics tests on system parts and initialized key system components. When a POST routine com pletes, a code is written to 1/0 port address SOh. Display this code by attach ing diagnostic equipment to port SOh.
