POST Codes
The following codes are not displayed on the screen. They can only be viewed on the LED
display of a so called POST card. The codes are listened in the same order as the according
functions are executed at PC startup. If you have access to a POST Card reader, you can
watch the system perform each test by the value that's displayed. If the system hangs (if
there's a problem) the last value displayed will give you a good idea where and what went
wrong, or what's bad on the system board.
