This chapter describes system error messages that can occur during computer startup or, in the case of some failures, during normal computer operation. The tables in this chapter list POST error codes, battery failure codes, and system error messages, as well as their probable causes. If a faulty computer does not display a POST error code or system error message to indicate a failure, use the Dell Diagnostics to help isolate the source of the problem. See "Running the Dell Diagnostics" found later in this chapter. If the computer's display cannot display error messages during the POST, the numbers lock (Num Lock), the capitals lock (Caps Lock), and the Scroll Lock indicators display codes that identify the problem or help you identify a faulty component or assembly. The following table lists the error codes that may be generated during POST. Most error codes indicate a fatal error that requires replacement of the system board or other corrective actions before the computer can operate. NOTE: To display an error code, all three system indicators flash simultaneously (not sequentially). These "flash" codes are the same as the audible "beep" codes used by the Dell Latitude XPi portable computer, for instance. System Error Messages 3-1

If the computer’s display cannot display error messages during the POST, the
numbers lock (Num Lock), the capitals lock (Caps Lock), and the Scroll Lock
indicators display codes that identify the problem or help you identify a faulty
component or assembly. The following table lists the error codes that may be
generated during POST. Most error codes indicate a fatal error that requires
replacement of the system board or other corrective actions before the com-
puter can operate.
NOTE: To display an error code, all three system indicators flash simulta-
neously (not sequentially). These “flash” codes are the same as the audible
“beep” codes used by the Dell Latitude XPi portable computer, for instance.
