Error Beep Codes

The document discusses beep codes used by BIOS chips to indicate errors during the POST (Power-On Self-Test) process. It explains that the POST checks basic system components in two stages. If errors are found after checking the video, the BIOS will display either a numeric code or text message. It then lists the three major BIOS chip brands - Award, Phoenix, and AMI - and notes that Phoenix uses a series of beeps separated by pauses to indicate errors, while providing some sample beep codes as examples.
