In the following example, the BIOS sends a value of ACh to the diagnostic LED decoder. The
LEDs are decoded as follows:
Table 151. POST Progress Code LED Example
LEDs
Upper Nibble AMBER LEDs Lower Nibble GREEN LEDs
MSB LSB
LED #7 LED #6 LED #5 LED #4 LED #3 LED #2 LED #1 LED #0
8h 4h 2h 1h 8h 4h 2h 1h
Status ON OFF ON OFF ON ON OFF OFF
Results

Ah Ch
Upper nibble bits = 1010b = Ah; Lower nibble bits = 1100b = Ch; the two are concatenated as
ACh
The following table provides a list of all POST progress codes.
