Intel® Server Board S5500WB TPS Appendix A: POST Code LED Decoder Appendix A: POST Code LED Decoder During the system boot process, the BIOS executes several platform configuration processes, each of which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. As each configuration routine is started, the BIOS displays the POST code on the POST code diagnostic LEDs found on the back edge of the server board. To assist in troubleshooting a system hang during the POST process, the diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the last POST process to be executed. Each POST code is represented by the eight amber diagnostic LEDs. The POST codes are divided into two nibbles, an upper nibble and a lower nibble. The upper nibble bits are represented by diagnostic LEDs #4, #5, #6, and #7. The lower nibble bits are represented by diagnostics LEDs #0, #1, #2, and #3. If the bit is set in the upper and lower nibbles, then the corresponding LED is lit. If the bit is clear, then the corresponding LED is off. The diagnostic LED #7 is labeled as ―MSB‖ (Most Significant Bit), and the diagnostic LED #0 is labeled as ―LSB‖ (Least Significant Bit). Figure 33.
