Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up process.
  • Page 91 When BIOS performs the Power On Self Test, it writes checkpoint codes to I/O port 0080h. If the computer cannot complete the boot process, a diagnostic card can be attached to the computer to read I/O port 0080h (Supermicro p/n AOC-LPC80-20).
