***Also I want to mention that I do not have a HD or SSD hooked up because I am just trying to do a test run to see if everything works.

A0-A3 are IDE.
A4-A7 are SCSI.
What you can do in the BIOS is to disable SCSI detection some where in the Storage section…. if that is available or possible.

In your case, it is detecting SCSI devices connected to the mobo at that time.

I’ve just completed a brand new build using the Gigabyte Z97X Gaming G1 (motherboard.
I’m continually seeing the code A6 on the debug digital meter.
A6 Detect and install all currently connected SCSI devices.
To troubleshoot, I uninstalled the SSD I was going to use as my main Windows Boot Drive and the CD/DVD Writer. I also uninstalled the MSI R9 390 GPU card. Still I get the error code A6. What’s causing this problem?
I then uninstalled the 2 sticks of Corsair Vengeance RAM, 16Gb (2×8)Gb) DDR3/1066, trying one stick only in each slot and then two sticks and swapping around again, still the error code of A6.
Is this A6 code the main cause of me not being able to boot from the SSD when everything is installed and connected?
I’m not hearing any POST beeps but maybe that’s because I don’t have a speaker wire in the case that goes to the relevant header. Is there a speaker on the motherboard?
All parts for this build are brand new, all purchased within the last couple of weeks.
Mother board Gigabyte Z97X Gaming G1.
Graphics GPU MSI R9 390.
Power Supply is an Enermax Platimax 1500Watt.
CPU Intel I5 4690K.
RAM Corsair Vengeance 16Gb (2x8Gb) DDR3 1066
Crucial MX200 SSD.

I also found this:
«Wow… I just had an «are you serious?!» moment.
I had a sinking suspicion that the A6 code was really Ab (AB), which means the BIOS is waiting for my input. The real issue was my freaking monitor not displaying the BIOS screen properly. I’m using an old HP CRT through the VGA. I found that if you have the monitor plugged into the Mobo BEFORE powering on, the monitor displays a blank blue screen. I had to actually turn the Mobo on first, let it POST, and THEN plug the VGA cable in. The monitor then displayed the BIOS instead of just blue emptiness. So everything seems good now. Man, I was really worried too…»
Good luck.

[SOLVED] «Progress Code A6 (SCSI Detect)» prevents me from accessing BIOS ?

I Have the following problem that i tried to solve for a few days now.
First of all my specs:
MoBo: MSI MEG X570S ACE MAX (MS-7D50)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
GPU: ASUS RTX 3090 EKWB
RAM: 4x 8GB DDR4-3603 / PC4-28800 DDR4 SDRAM UDIMM
OS: Windows 10 Version 21H2 (19044, 1566)
After a windows clean install i cant acess my Bios anymore. I can normally boot in to windows and everything works fine but when i smash the «del» key to enter bios during startup the MoBo shows «Progress Code A6 (SCSI Detect)» and nothing happens anymore (Black screen). When i restart by shutting down my PC everything works fine.
During Startup the MoBo Shows the Progress Code 64 (CPU DXE Initialization (CPU Module specific) or the Progress Code 9C (USB Detect) but it lets me boot to Windows and again everything works fine.
I really have no clue how to solve this, here is a list of things i tried without being successful:
- clear CMOS
- Update all drivers (Chipset, GPU, Audio, Ethernet, …)
- Uninstall and Reinstall USB-Devices (now i dont get the 9C Progress Code anymore)
- check if everything is plugged in well and correctly on my MoBo
- unplugged and changed Keyboard / Mouse
- Access BIOS from Windows UEFI Firmware Settings (Windows advanced Startup)
- System Restore
As i said, before the W10 clean Install everything worked fine (BIOS and OS) but after the clean install i cant access the BIOS anymore but Windows works just fine.
Would love some help because i cant set my custom Fan curve and im running hot over here .
Thank you very much for all the Answers 😄
Cheers

if that doesnt help, download latest bios from mainboard download page, even if you have same version, it wont matter
extract bios image from zip file and place it on USB stick, you should be able to enter bios flash mode with ctrl+F5 key even without entering bios (when PC powers up), reflash bios with freshly downloaded bios image

В данном материале представлены все известные POST-коды на Китайских материнских платах LGA 2011 и LGA 2011-3. Если вы например столкнулись с проблемой запуска системы то по номеру кода можно узнать в чём причина неполадки, что значительно облегчает выявление неисправности. Если ваша плата оснащена пост картой — это огромный плюс, вы всегда будите в курсе, система работает исправно или нет.
Если после запуска системы всё в порядке, POST-код должен быть АА, если он другой, то стоит посмотреть на расшифровку кодов ниже и выявить причину.
