Appendix E: POST Code Diagnostic LED Decoder Table for
S2600ST Server Board Family
As an aid to assist in troubleshooting a system hang occurring during a system’s Power-On Self-Test (POST)
process, the server board includes a bank of eight (8) POST Code Diagnostic LEDs on the back edge of the
server board.
During the system boot process, Memory Reference Code (MRC) and System BIOS execute a number of
memory initialization and platform configuration processes, each of which is assigned a hex POST code
number.
As each routine is started, the given POST code number is displayed to the POST Code Diagnostic LEDs on the
back edge of the server board.
During a POST system hang, the displayed post code can be used to identify the last POST routine that was
run prior to the error occurring, helping to isolate the possible cause of the hang condition.
Each POST code is represented by eight (8) LEDs; four (4) Green and four (4) Amber. The POST codes are
divided into two (2) nibbles, an upper nibble and a lower nibble. The upper nibble bits are represented by
Amber Diagnostic LEDs #4, #5, #6, #7. The lower nibble bits are represented by Green Diagnostics LEDs #0,
#1, #2 and #3. If the bit is set in the upper and lower nibbles, the corresponding LED is lit. If the bit is clear, the
corresponding LED is off.
