Diagnostics

The computer POST (Power On Self Test) ensures that it meets the basic computer requirements and the hardware is working appropriately before the boot process begins. If the computer passes the POST, the computer continues to start in a normal mode. However, if the computer fails the POST, the computer emits a series of LED codes during the start-up. The system LED is integrated on the Power button.

The following table shows different light patterns and what they indicate.

Table 1. Power LED summary The following table provides the power led summary and what they indicate.
Amber LED stateWhite LED state System stateNotes
OffOffS5
Off BlinkingS3, no PWRGD_PS
Previous State Previous State S3, no PWRGD_PSThis entry provides for the possibility of a delay from SLP_S3# active to PWRGD_PS inactive.
BlinkingOffS0, no PWRGD_PS
Steady OffS0, no PWRGD_PS, Code fetch = 0
OffSteadyS0, no PWRGD_PS, Code fetch = 1This indicates that the host BIOS has started to execute and the LED register is now writable.
Table 2. Amber LED blinking failuresThe following table provides the amber led blinking and what they indicate.
