B. BIOS Setup Error Codes B.1 Bootblock Initialization Code Checkpoints The Bootblock initialization code sets up the chipset, memory and other components before system memory is available. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the bootblock initialization portion of the BIOS: Checkpoint Description Before D1 Early chipset initialization is done. Early super I/O initialization is done including RTC and keyboard controller. NMI is disabled.
B.2 POST Code Checkpoints The POST code checkpoints are the largest set of checkpoints during the BIOS pre-boot process. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the POST portion of the BIOS. All POST Codes can be seen through the Web Management Interface in section Control. Checkpoint Description 03 Disable NMI, Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers. Initialize BIOS, POST, Runtime data area. Also initialize BIOS modules on POST entry and GPNV area.
Checkpoint Description 39 Initializes DMAC-1 & DMAC-2. 3A Initialize RTC date/time. 3B Test for total memory installed in the system. Also, Check for DEL or ESC keys to limit memory test. Display total memory in the system. 3C Mid POST initialization of chipset registers. 40 Detect different devices (Parallel ports, serial ports, and coprocessor in CPU, … etc.) successfully installed in the system and update the BDA, EBDA…etc.
B.3 DIM Code Checkpoints The Device Initialization Manager (DIM) gets control at various times during BIOS POST to initialize different system busses. The following table describes the main checkpoints where the DIM module is accessed: Checkpoint Description 2A Initialize different buses and perform the following functions: Reset, Detect, and Disable (function 0); Static Device Initialization (function 1); Boot Output Device Initialization (function 2).
0 = Generic DIM (Device Initialization Manager). 1 = On-board System devices. 2 = ISA devices. 3 = EISA devices. 4 = ISA PnP devices. 5 = PCI devices.
