BIOS POST Beep Codes

At the beginning of the server boot-up process, the BIOS runs a power-on self test (POST)
routine to check various system components for proper function. Prior to system video
initialization, if POST encounters a fatal system error, such as a processor problem,
memory problem or video controller problem, the BIOS will trigger a series of patterned
beep codes to indicate the error conditions.
