4.3
Port 80h POST Codes
During the POST, the BIOS generates diagnostic progress codes (POST codes) to I/O
port 80h.
If the POST fails, execution stops and the last POST code generated is left at
port 80h.
This code is useful for determining the point where an error occurred.
Displaying the POST codes requires a POST card that can interface with the Debug
header.
Refer to the location of the Debug header in Figure 1.
The following tables provide information about the POST codes generated by the BIOS:
•
Table 27 lists the Port 80h POST code ranges
•
Table 28 lists the Port 80h POST codes themselves
•
Table 29 lists the Port 80h POST sequence
NOTE
In the tables listed above, all POST codes and range values are listed in hexadecimal.
