POST Screen Messages

During POST, if an error is detected, the BIOS displays an error code and message to
the screen. The tables in this section describe the standard and extended POST error
codes and their associated messages. The BIOS prompts the user to press a key in
case of serious errors. Some of the error messages are preceded by the string "Error"
to highlight the fact that the system may be malfunctioning. All POST errors and
warnings are logged in the System Event Log (SEL) unless it is full. See "Managing
the System Event Log" on page 4-30 for more details on the SEL.
Note – All POST errors are logged to the SEL, which is capable of holding
approximately 3200 entries. After the SEL is full, no further errors are logged. The
SEL can be cleared using the SSU or the BIOS setup. The SEL is automatically
cleared after running the PCT. See "Managing the System Event Log" on page 4-30
for more details.
Table 3-7 and Table 3-8 contain the POST error messages and error codes.
