Appendix C: AMIBIOS Power-On Self Test
Every time the system is powered on, AMIBIOS executes a power-on self test. In case of
errors they are reported in one of two ways. If the error occurs before the display device is
initialised, a series of beeps sound. Beep codes indicate that a fatal error has occurred.
AMIBIOS Beep Codes are described in the table below.
If it beeps… Then…
1, 2, or 3 times Re-insert the memory SIMMs. If the system still
beeps replace the memory.
6 times Try a different keyboard or replace the keyboard fuse
if the keyboard has one.
8 times There is an error on the Video adapter or the Video
RAM
9 times The BIOS ROM chip is bad. The system probably
needs a new BIOS ROM chip.
11 times Re-insert the cache memory on the board. If it still
beeps, replace the cache memory.
4, 5, 7, or 10 times Fatal error.
If the error occurs after the display device is initialised, an error message is displayed.
