STL2 Server Board TPS Basic Input Output System (BIOS)
Revision 1.0 4-49
•
The 8-bit test point is broken down to four 2-bit groups.
•
Each group is made one-based (1 through 4)
•
One to four beeps are generated based on each group’s 2-bit pattern.
Example:
Checkpoint 04Bh will be broken down to: 01 00 10 11
And the beep code will be: 2 – 1 – 3 – 4
