BIOS POST Beep Codes
The following tables lists POST error beep codes. Prior to system video initialization, the BIOS
uses these beep codes to inform users of error conditions.
The beep code occurs only when a critical error or BIOS fails to boot to the operating system.
Please note that not all error conditions are supported by BIOS Beep codes.
The following list contains some of the beep codes used in SE7500CW2 platform:
•
Memory error: A unique beep-code is derived from the port 80h code as follows:
The 8-bit error code is broken down to four 2-bit groups.
-
Each group is made one-based (through 4)
-
-
Short beeps are generated for the number of times in each group.
Example:
Port 80h = 0E1h is divided into:
11 10 00 01
•
Two short beeps: CMOS checksum bad been found and load default.
•
Five short beeps: Clear CMOS SW is on.
•
One short beep: BIOS will boot to the operating system.
