8. LPT port is also different with other interfaces such as PCI and ISA and the parallel port and other interfaces show different codes when the PC works normally because of different time sequence for PC managing different interfaces But the failure codes shown are the same no matter what type of interface is used to in test 10 The two digit and four digit PC Diagnostic Cards are not so mysterious as you imagine What they can do is just to display the POST codes that indicate the failures especially when the screen is blank Some POST programs of BIOS stop at the last code which the system fails to pass failure code while the others stop at the last code which the system succeeds to pass non failure code With code recheck functions KPI4 KM4A KL4 and KLP4 can show what codes the self test has passed from which the user can know what components work well Both functions and performances of two digit and four digit PC diagnostic card are not better than those of KPI6 KM6 KL6 and KLP6 Because there is a wide range of code collection many versions and types of BIOS varieties of content of POST programs new functions of BIOS the meanings of codes may be not complete and perfect So the code meanings in this manual are only for your reference Please contact the mainboard manufacturers and BIOS makers for the most accurate and latest POST code information P DA gt 0 gt D8 7 H
