Different motherboards have different BIOS's e.g. mine is a phoenix award, so mine means nothing at all to me. (It has a combination of 4 beep combinations (e.g. 1 short, 4 short, 1 long, 2 short) and I have never been able to work it out from beeps, as have of them don't even get to have 4 beeps.)
 
Then you should tell MSI that, as far as i know there manuals never list that information. They tell you in the manual to look certain codes and things up on there website.
 
oh, right, sorry. its all in my dell manual, only my mobo uses lights labelled a,b,c,d, which light up in different patterns.
