POST Codes There are two types of POST codes: Progress Codes and Error Codes. Progress Codes are designed to show the execution point while booting or executing services. Error Codes are designed to halt on exceptional (fatal) error conditions. Component Codes The Component Code is an unsigned integer value that is assigned by the build process.
Page 190
Table 4-4. Component Codes Range 0xa0-0xaf These values are reserved for SecureCore Tiano™ platform components. POSTCODE_CC_PLATFORM_STAGE0 (0xa0) - Early PEI Platform Initialization. POSTCODE_CC_PLATFORM_STAGE1 (0xa1) -PEI Platform Initialization. POSTCODE_CC_PLATFORM_DXE (0xa1) - DXE Platform Initialization. POSTCODE_CC_PLATFORM_SMM (0xa1) - SMM Platform Initialization. POSTCODE_CC_PLATFORM_FLASH (0xa2) - Flash Platform Initialization.
Page 191
Table 4-4. Component Codes Range Description 0xe0-0xff These are not components, but rather represent Architectural Progress Codes or Error Codes detailing milestones in the system boot progress. The corresponding Progress Code value is always set to zero. POSTCODE_PC_SEC_ENTRY (0xe0) - Reset vector. POSTCODE_PC_SEC_EXIT (0xe1) - Leaving SEC/Going to PEI.
Progress Codes This section describes the progress code values. Table 4-5. Progress Codes Range 0x00-0x1f Standard progress Codes. All other values are reserved. POSTCODE_PC_COMP_PEI_BEGIN (0x01) - The component was loaded and the PEI entry point called. POSTCODE_PC_COMP_PEI_END (0x02) - The component returned from the PEI entry point.
Clearing Password Check and BIOS Recovery This section provides procedures for: Clearing the BIOS passwords Performing a BIOS recovery Clearing the BIOS Passwords To clear a lost BIOS password (user or supervisor password), you need to short the clear password hardware gap (G1901) located on the mainboard.
10. Press F9 to load the system defaults. 11. Press F10 to save the changes you made and close the Setup Utility. 12. If a wireless module was removed, reinstall it. Performing a BIOS Recovery Boot Block An interruption during a BIOS flash procedure (e.g. a power outage) can corrupt the BIOS code, which will cause the system to go into an unbootable state.
