Diagnostic LEDs
The BIOS sends a
POST code checkpoints
The following table shows the checkpoints, LED codes, and task description of events that may occur during the POST portion of the BIOS:
Check Description point
03Disable NMI, Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers. Initialize BIOS, POST, Runtime data area. Also initialize BIOS modules on POST entry and GPNV area. Initialized CMOS as mentioned in the Kernel Variable “wCMOSFlags.”
04Check CMOS diagnostic byte to determine if battery power is OK and CMOS checksum is OK. Verify CMOS checksum manually by reading storage area. If the CMOS checksum is bad, update CMOS with
Initialize data variables that are based on CMOS setup questions. Initialize both the 8259 compatible PICs in the system.
05Initialize the interrupt controller in hardware (generally PIC) and interrupt vector table.
06Do R/W test to
08Initialize the CPU. The BAT test is being done on KBC. The keyboard controller command byte is being programmed after Auto detection of KB/MS using AMI
