POST code diagnostic LEDs
During the system boot process, the BIOS executes several platform configuration processes, each of
which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. When each configuration routine is started, the BIOS
displays the POST code number through the POST code diagnostic LEDs on the system board. To assist in
troubleshooting a system hang during the POST process, the diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the
last POST process executed.
