Boot Block Flash ROM Terminal POST Errors
Code
Description
F7h
Boot to Full DOS
If the BIOS detects error 2C, 2E, or 30 (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional word-
bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, "2C 0002" means
address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. "2E 1020" means data bits 12 and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set)
have failed in the lower 16 bits. The BIOS also sends the bitmap to the port-80 LED display.
It first displays the checkpoint code, followed by a delay, the high-order byte, another delay,
and then the low order byte of the error. It repeats this sequence continuously.
