Your PC Workstation Does Not Start Correctly
Case 4 — Boot Process Fails
If There Is a Beep Code During Boot
If an error occurs during the POST, which prevents the PC Workstation
from starting, and before the display device has been initialized, a
series of beep codes are issued. Beep codes indicate that a fatal error
has occurred and can be reported one after another if there is more
than one detected error. In this case, the first detected error is the
most important.
These codes are useful for identifying the error when the system is
unable to display the error message.
Category #2: If the error is only a warning (i.e. key stuck), the POST should prompt:
WARNING
00100 Keyboard Error
Press <Enter> to view more information about error
Category #3: If the error is serious, the POST should prompt:
00xx The BIOS has detected a serious problem that prevents your PC from booting
Press <Enter> to view more information about error
<F1= Continue>, <F2= Setup 1 >
1. In some cases, this could be labeled as “Fix”.
