[Solved] Asrock Default Debug LED Codes

[RollingThunder]

What do the two LED debug codes read after a successful no-error bootup for the Asrock Z170 Extreme 1151 boards?

 

[ATMINSIDE]

I believe it is A2, but I could be incorrect.
The manual should tell you.

My Frankenstein Extreme6+ board with Extreme4 Bios read 99 after a successful boot with no errors.

^Yes, or A2 when you are in the bios IIRC.

THAT is where I got A2 from.

Sorry, missed your post!

Sorry, missed your post!

I was thinking it was A2 all the time, granted I do spend a lot of time in the BIOS which is also when I'm paying attention to the Debug.

Let me reboot, I'll tell you! All Asrock mobo's have the same debug code list.

Edit: A6 or A2 (?) when in bios and 99 is the last code before leds go black.

OK, you're saying there is no code with a successful boot? LED's are not lit up? I've had AA since inception and it's not listed anywhere that I can find and system runs OK.

Manual shows A0 (zero) to A07 but no AA. I do have A6 in the BIOS.

AA - System has transitioned into ACPI mode. Interrupt controller is in APIC mode

A little searching turned this up "AA is normal everything is OK."
Found on a ROG forum...

Does that apply to Z170 boards?

Lyman, thank you. I saw that, it applies to me on my Z170, but it's not an "official" code that I can find (so far). Asrock doesn't list it that I can find.

 

[LutaWicasa]

Nobody that I have found specifically lists it

Now my curiosity is up though....time to dig around a lot more

Yes, it is standardized Dr debug codes.

 

[LutaWicasa]

Bottom of the page...yes, it applies to you

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Just checked my Z170 Extreme7+ and it goes to 99 while Windows is initializing, but goes blank once it starts up.
Will check the BIOS if I'm in it later.

 

[LutaWicasa]

Nothing I've found anywhere mentions AA status code regarding an Asrock board specifically....why not hit up uefi tech service in bios and ask?

 

[Tír na nÓg]

List is there. See my previous post:

For your reference, here's a list of debug codes used by AMI for Sandy Bridge. Codes in this list correspond with the onboard Debug Led codes. Applies to Maximus IV Extreme, P8P67 series, Asrock P67 boards etc.

It's in my old Z77 Extreme4 manual as well...but I've found not a single instance of that code being mentioned anywhere regarding Asrock boards nor seen it during post on the Z77 nor Z170 that I've built. The Z77 Extreme4 goes blank after boot, as does the Z170 Extreme6 and as per ATM the Extreme7+
Hence...worth the question to their techies if for no other reason than simple curiosity.

Curiosity is good! that what makes the mankind evolve.

Can you imagine, in 500.000 years, we went from "invention" of fire to talking lifts!!!

Just joking, hey? (Am I?)
