Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL TPS

Light Guided Diagnostics

7.5Post Code Diagnostic LEDs

During the system boot process, BIOS executes a number of platform configuration processes, each of which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. As each configuration routine is started, BIOS will display the given POST code to the POST code diagnostic LEDs found on the back edge of the server board. To assist in troubleshooting a system hang during the POST process, the diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the last POST process to be executed. See Appendix C for a complete description of how these LEDs are read, and for a list of all supported POST codes.
