Die Pieptöne werden im Allgemeinen als Pieptoncodes bezeichnet. Sie geben einen Hinweis auf den Status einiger Hardware.
Ein Signaltoncode ist das Audiosignal, das von einem Computer ausgegeben wird, um das Ergebnis einer kurzen Diagnosetestsequenz zu melden, die der Computer beim ersten Einschalten ausführt (Power-On-Self-Test oder POST). Der POST ist ein kleines Programm, das im BIOS (Basic Input / Output Operating System) des Computers enthalten ist und überprüft, ob die erforderliche Hardware vorhanden ist und auf den erforderlichen Speicherplatz zugegriffen werden kann. Wenn alles korrekt getestet wurde, gibt der Computer normalerweise einen einzelnen Piepton aus und setzt den Startvorgang fort. Wenn etwas nicht stimmt, zeigt der Computer eine Fehlermeldung auf dem Monitorbildschirm an und meldet die Fehler hörbar mit einer Reihe von Signaltönen, die sich in Tonhöhe, Anzahl und Dauer unterscheiden (dies ist besonders nützlich, wenn der Fehler beim Monitor oder den Grafikkomponenten auftritt). .
Es gibt keinen offiziellen Standard für Piepton-Codes. Die Audiomuster variieren je nach Hersteller des BIOS-Programms des Computers. Wenn beim Start eine Fehlermeldung ertönt, muss der Benutzer zuerst ermitteln, welche Art von BIOS der Computer ausführt (Phoenix oder AMI sind die beliebtesten) und diese Informationen verwenden, um die jeweils gesendete Pieptoncodesequenz nachzuschlagen. Informationen zu BIOS-Informationen und Piepton-Codes finden Sie im Handbuch des Computers und auf der Website des Herstellers.
Um dies zu verstehen, müssen Sie zunächst herausfinden, welches BIOS Sie haben (dies kann durch das Lesen des Handbuchs erreicht werden. Wenn Sie keine haben, führt der Hersteller normalerweise eine elektronische Kopie auf seiner Website.) siehe Wie kann ich herausfinden, welche Motherboard in meinem Computer?
