Interpreting POST diagnostics

This section provides an explanation of the POST diagnostic codes.
POST beep codes
If an error occurs before video initialization, POST emits beep codes that
indicate errors in hardware, software, or firmware.
A beep code is a series of separate tones, each equal in length. Record the
beep code sequence before calling Nortel technical support.
Some POST beep codes are fatal and may require that you replace the Single
Board Card (SBC). See the table below for more information about beep codes.

.
If the server halts before POST is finished, the server emits a
beep code indicating that a fatal system error requires immediate
attention. See "Interpreting POST diagnostics" (page 19)
If POST can display a message on the monitor, the server emits two
beeps as the message appears.
Record the message that appears on the monitor and the beep code
that you hear. This information is useful if you need assistance from
your technical support representative.
