Intel S7200AP - Table 12. POST Progress Codes

BIOS POST Progress Codes
During the system boot process, the BIOS executes a number of platform configuration processes, each of
which is assigned a specific POST Progress Code, a 2-digit hexadecimal number. As each configuration
routine is started, the BIOS displays the POST Progress Code on the Diagnostic LEDs found on the back
edge of the server board.
To assist in troubleshooting a system hang during the POST process, the POST Progress Code displayed in
the Diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the last POST process to begin execution.
The following table provides a list of all POST progress codes.
