Error Messages and Beep Codes Speaker The board-mounted speaker provides audible error code (beep code) information during POST. For information about Refer to The location of the onboard speaker Figure 1, page 13 BIOS Beep Codes Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS causes the board’s speaker to beep an error message describing the problem (see Table 44).
Intel Desktop Board DH67GD and Intel Desktop Board DH67BL Technical Product Specification Front-panel Power LED Blink Codes Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS causes the board’s front panel power LED to blink an error message describing the problem (see Table 45).
Error Messages and Beep Codes 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 Low Pin Count (LPC) Debug header.
