POST code diagnostic LEDs

During the system boot process, the BIOS executes several platform configuration processes, each of
which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. When each configuration routine is started, the BIOS
displays the POST code number through the POST code diagnostic LEDs on the system board. To assist in
troubleshooting a system hang during the POST process, the diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the
last POST process executed.

The POST code diagnostic LED #0 (callout

4

) is the LSB and the POST code diagnostic LED #7 (callout

9

)

is the MSB. If a POST code diagnostic LED is lit, it indicates 1 in the binary numeral system; otherwise, it
indicates 0. For example, if POST code diagnostic LEDs

5

,

6

,

9

, and

10

are lit, you can read the number

as the following:
