I'm having a hardware failure when booting and I need to know the exact beep-code definitions for the Asus M5A97 LE R2.0. Could someone provide me the beep-codes of that motherboard? I can't find them in the ASUS webpage and other beep-codes that I've found are not exact for this UEFI.

1They should be exact. ASUS uses the same beep-codes for accross all their product lines. – Ramhound Jul 14 '14 at 19:02

*at least until you go as far back as to ~2006 designed boards, then floppy controller becomes important. – mirh Oct 19 '21 at 01:20

The manual exists on Asus' support site and it contains the beep codes on page 2-16 ("Chapter 2: Getting Started"):

Thanks but can you provide the exact url, the manual, or say the steps (what buttons to click) to get inside that manual page?, also continuous means LONG? – ElektroStudios Jul 14 '14 at 19:05

1Yes 'continuous' in this case means long. As for providing a direct link -- Nope, it's there, and it may change, and the dynamic link to it would just die in the future. :) When you look up the downloads for your board on the "Download" tab, after you pick an OS, scroll the badly designed (sub)panel down to see more choices (like "Manuals"). – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Jul 14 '14 at 19:09
