The Post-Probe comes with an extensive manual, which in itself is part of the technician's troubleshooting arsenal. It has tables listing the post codes for over 60 BIOS versions, a list that includes every common BIOS and a few that most technicians will probably never see in their lifetime.
Each code also has a reference to the appropriate section of a diagnostic chapter, which explains the function in question, both in theory and in practical data on repair.
A separate chapter also has tables for the beep codes. These are audible codes that a number of BIOS versions use in addition to the post codes, with a unique pattern of beeps for different types of post failure. At the back of the manual is some reference material such as the standard IRQ assignments, standard adapter ROM memory allocations, and the bus pin-outs for both ISA and PCI.
