POST error codes
POST error messages appear when, during startup, POST finds problems with the
hardware or a change in the hardware configuration. POST error messages are 3-, 4-,
5-, 8-, or 12-character alphanumeric messages.
Beep codes
Beep codes are a series of tones in sets of two or three that sound when there are POST
errors. The beep pattern represents numeric values and provides further information
about the location of a potential problem.
The Hardware Maintenance Manual provides a complete list of beep codes.
