Server Module Beep Codes
If an error that cannot be reported on the screen occurs during POST, the system may emit a series of beeps that identifies the problem.
NOTE: If the system boots without a keyboard, mouse, or monitor attached, the system does not issue beep codes related to those peripherals.
If a beep code is emitted, write down the series of beeps and then look it up in Table 2-15. If you are unable to resolve the problem by looking up the
meaning of the beep code, use system diagnostics to identify the possible cause. If you are still unable to resolve the problem, see
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as
authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not
authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
