Appendix C: AMIBIOS Power-On Self Test

Every time the system is powered on, AMIBIOS executes a power-on self test. In case of errors they are reported in one of two ways. If the error occurs before the display device is initialised, a series of beeps sound. Beep codes indicate that a fatal error has occurred. AMIBIOS Beep Codes are described in the table below.

If it beeps…	Then…
1, 2, or 3 times	Re-insert the memory SIMMs. If the system still
	beeps replace the memory.
6 times	Try a different keyboard or replace the keyboard fuse
	if the keyboard has one.
8 times	There is an error on the Video adapter or the Video
	RAM
9 times	The BIOS ROM chip is bad. The system probably
	needs a new BIOS ROM chip.
11 times	Re-insert the cache memory on the board. If it still
	beeps, replace the cache memory.
4, 5, 7, or 10 times	Fatal error.

If the error occurs after the display device is initialised, an error message is displayed.
