Error Messages and Beep Codes 4.5 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. The following tables provide information about the POST codes generated by the BIOS: • Table 45 lists the Port 80h POST code ranges • Table 46 lists the Port 80h POST codes themselves • Table 47 lists the Port 80h POST sequence NOTE In the tables listed above, all POST codes and range values are listed in hexadecimal.

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.
The following tables provide information about the POST codes generated by the
BIOS:
•
Table 45 lists the Port 80h POST code ranges
•
Table 46 lists the Port 80h POST codes themselves
•
Table 47 lists the Port 80h POST sequence
NOTE
In the tables listed above, all POST codes and range values are listed in hexadecimal.
Table 45.
