HP PC Commercial BIOS (UEFI) Setup 11 Computer Notifications July 2020 919946-004 11.1 Introduction Platforms that support HP PC Commercial BIOS have various mechanisms to indicate errors that occur during Power-OnSelf-Test (POST). The notifications can take several forms, such as: • Blinks and Beeps • On screen notifications that include the following: ○ Preboot messages (BIOS) ○ Pop-up messages within the OS 11.2 Blink and Beep Codes Some system errors prevent the use of the video screen; instead, the system provides error information through blink codes using LED lights. The LED light used depends on the system type (notebook or desktop). The codes are presented in a sequence. For desktop, this means red blinks followed by white blinks. Audible long and short beeps accompany red or white blinks, respectively. Additional detail may be found in the system's Maintenance and Service Guide. The following table describes the meaning of critical blink codes.
