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.

    They should be exact. ASUS uses the same beep-codes for accross all their product lines.

  • *at least until you go as far back as to ~2006 designed boards, then floppy controller becomes important.

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? Commented Jul 14, 2014 at 19:05

    Yes '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").
