Appendix D: POST Code Errors Intel® Server Boards S5000PSL and S5000XSL TPS
POST Error Beep Codes
The following table lists POST error beep codes. Prior to system Video initialization, BIOS uses
these beep codes to inform users on error conditions. The beep code is followed by a user
visible code on POST Progress LEDs.
Table 50. POST Error Beep Codes
Beeps Error Message POST Progress Code Description
3 Memory error System halted because a fatal error related to the memory
was detected.
6 BIOS rolling back
error
The system has detected a corrupted BIOS in the flash
part, and is rolling back to the last good BIOS.
The BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep codes are
sounded each time the problem is discovered, such as on each power-up attempt, but are not
sounded continuously. Codes that are common across all Intel
®
server boards and systems that
use the Intel
®
5000 chipset are listed in the following table. Each digit in the code is represented
by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal to the digit.
