POST Error Beep Codes
The following table lists the POST error beep codes. Prior to system video initialization, the
BIOS uses these beep codes to inform users on error conditions. The beep code is followed by
a user-visible code on the POST Progress LEDs.

POST Progress Code
Description
1
USB device action
NA
Short beep sounded whenever a USB device is discovered
in POST, or inserted or removed during runtime
1 long
Intel

TXT security
violation
0xAE, 0xAF
System halted because Intel
®
Trusted Execution
Technology detected a potential violation of system
security.
3
Memory error
See Tables 28 and 29
System halted because a fatal error related to the memory
was detected.

BIOS Recovery
started
NA
Recovery boot has been initiated
4
BIOS Recovery
failure
NA
BIOS recovery has failed. This typically happens so quickly
after recovery us initiated that it sounds like a 2-4 beep
code.
The Integrated BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep codes
are sounded each time the problem is discovered, such as on each power-up attempt, but are
not sounded continuously. Codes that are common across all Intel
®
server boards and systems
that use same generation chipset are listed in the following table. Each digit in the code is
represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal to the digit.

1-5-2-1
No CPUs installed or first CPU socket is
empty.
 CPU1 socket is empty, or sockets are
populated incorrectly
 CPU1 must be populated before CPU2.

MSID Mismatch
MSID mismatch occurs if a processor is installed
into a system board that has incompatible power
capabilities.
