A Board Status and Error Messages 
This appendix describes status and error messages generated by the Desktop Board’s 
BIOS.  The BIOS indicates these error messages with front-panel Power LED blink 
codes, speaker beep codes, and by displaying text on the video monitor. 
BIOS Beep Codes 
The BIOS uses audible beep codes to signal status messages and error messages 
indicating recoverable errors that occur during the POST.  The beep codes are listed in 
Table 12.  These beep codes can be heard through a speaker attached to the board’s 
line out audio jack (see Figure 2, B on page 15).
