Post Error Codes And Messages; Table 49. Post Error Messages And Codes - Dell 3250 Product Manual

POST Error Codes and Messages

The system BIOS displays the POST error messages in Table 49 on the video screen. These error
codes are logged in the SEL. Critical events that require user interaction and BIOS POST will
create a pause during POST, awaiting user input. The BIOS will prompt with a message requesting
to Press F1, F2, or ESC. This error code type is indicated in Table 49 as "Yes" under the column
heading "Pause On Boot".
NOTE
Pausing for user interaction can be overridden via Setup item.
Along with the display of POST error codes there are two beep codes. The first is two mid-tone,
brief beeps that indicates the presence of POST error codes. This happens in conjunction with
POST code 0086 (south) and text on the screen prompting for user input. After you press either one
of the indicated keys, there is a single, mid-tone, brief beep indicating that POST is continuing.
