AMI Bios 2.2

The document provides AMI BIOS 2.2x POST code meanings for system initialization checks during startup. The codes represent checks of hardware components like the CPU, memory, video system, keyboard, disk controllers and drives, and protected mode tests to verify the system configuration is valid before loading the operating system. Later codes copy the BIOS to shadow memory, test peripherals, and initialize areas for the boot loader.
