During the POST, the BIOS generates diagnostic progress codes (POST-codes) to I/O
port 80h. If the POST fails, execution stops and the last POST code generated is left
at port 80h. This code is useful for determining the point where an error occurred.
Displaying the POST-codes requires a PCI bus add-in card, often called a POST card.
The POST card can decode the port and display the contents on a medium such as a
seven-segment display.
NOTE
The POST card must be installed in PCI bus connector 1.
The following tables provide information about the POST codes generated by the
BIOS:
