Appendix C: 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.

Error Message

Memory error

6 BIOS rolling back error

POST Progress Code Description

System halted because a fatal error related to the memory was detected.

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 Series Chipsets are listed in Table 59. Each digit in the code is represented

by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal to the digit.
