A Error Messages and Indicators
The D845HV and D845WN boards report POST errors in two ways:
• By sounding a beep code
• By displaying an error message on the monitor
BIOS Beep Codes
The BIOS beep codes are listed in Table 33. The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone
followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (a faulty video card or
no card installed) or if an external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero.
