System Beep Codes

When an error that cannot be reported on the monitor occurs during a boot routine, the system may emit a series of beeps
that identifies the problem.
When a beep code is emitted, record it on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist in
Table 2-11. If you are unable to resolve the problem by looking up the meaning of the beep code, use the system diagnostics
to identify a more serious cause. If you are still unable to resolve the problem, see
NOTE: If the system boots without a keyboard, mouse, or monitor attached, the system will not issue beep codes
related to those peripherals.
NOTE: Before you perform any procedures described in
