Beep Codes

During POST, fatal problems can occur before video is enabled. These fatal errors are conveyed by
encoded beeps, coupled with POST debug codes.
In order to extend the useful range of the beep codes, without the need to have dozens of codes, the
beeps are classified, and the POST debug card makes the distinction within the class.
Table 57 details the various Beep Codes supported by the system.
