Appendix D. Error codes, Post error codes | IBM PC 300GL specification

Appendix D. Error codes

Complete lists of POST and beep error codes are provided in the PC300GL and PC 300PL User Guide and in the Hardware Maintenance Manual.

POST error codes

POST error messages appear when, during startup, POST finds problems with the hardware or a change in the hardware configuration. POST error messages are 3-, 4-, 5-, 8-, or 12-character alphanumeric messages.

Beep codes

Beep codes are a series of tones in sets of two or three that sound when there are POST errors. The beep pattern represents numeric values and provides further information about the location of a potential problem.

The Hardware Maintenance Manual provides a complete list of beep codes.
