however from the phoenix site...

PhoenixBIOS -- PhoenixBIOS issues a special beep code when a fatal error has occurred. A fatal error implies that an important part of the system has failed and, in general, POST has aborted and the system cannot boot. PhoenixBIOS beep codes are encoded versions of the POST codes described in the user manual. The Phoenix BIOS Post Code and Beep generic user manual lists the beep codes for versions 4.00 to 4.06 of PhoenixBIOS.
