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 (see "Getting Help" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide) and then look it
up in Table 3-11. 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.
NOTE: If the system boots without a keyboard, mouse, or monitor attached, the system will not issue beep codes related to those peripherals.
Table 3-11. System Beep Codes
Code Cause
1-1-2 CPU register test failure.
Faulty microprocessor; faulty
system board.
No microprocessor installed in
primary microprocessor socket.
Embedded remote access memory
may be temporarily corrupted.
SCSI cable is loose, improperly
connected, or faulty.
Shutdown test failure.
Faulty or improperly installed SCSI
backplane board.
Wrong password entered too
many times.
Faulty battery.
Incorrect Time or Date settings;
faulty system battery.
Faulty system board.
Microprocessor(s) is not
supported by the system.
RAID memory module is not
supported by the system.
RAID hardware key is not
supported by the system.
The <F10> key was pressed
during POST, but no utility
partition exists on the boot hard
drive.
Specified microprocessor VRM is
faulty, unsupported, improperly
installed, or missing.
Type of controller has changed
since previous system boot.
Firmware error.
BIOS error.
Faulty or corrupt data in NVRAM.
Faulty diskette, CD/diskette drive
assembly, hard drive, or hard-
drive subsystem.
Corrective Action
Ensure that the microprocessors are properly installed. If the problem persists, replace the faulty
microprocessor(s) (see "Microprocessors").
Ensure that the microprocessors are properly installed. If the problem
persists, replace the faulty microprocessor(s) (see "Microprocessors"). If
the problem persists, replace the system board (see
Install a microprocessor in the primary microprocessor socket. Also,
ensure that a VRM for processor 1 is installed (see "Microprocessors").
To clear the embedded remote access memory, shut down the system,
disconnect the power cords, wait approximately 30 seconds, reconnect
the power cords, and restart the system. If the problem persists, ensure
that the expansion-card riser board is properly installed. If the problem
persists, replace the expansion-card riser board (see
Riser Board"). If the problem persists, replace the system board (see
"System Board").
Ensure that the SCSI cables are properly installed. If problem persists,
add or replace the cables.
Ensure that the memory modules are properly installed. If the problem
persists, replace the faulty memory module(s) (see
Ensure that the SCSI backplane board is properly installed. If the
problem persists, replace the backplane board (see
Board").

Ensure that the system battery is properly installed. If the problem
persists, replace the battery (see
Check the Time and Date settings (see
Program"). If the problem persists, replace the system battery (see
"System Battery").
Replace the system board (see "System
Update the BIOS firmware. Download the latest firmware from the
Dell | Support website at support.dell.com. If the problem persists,
install a supported microprocessor combination (see "Microprocessors").
Install a correct version of the RAID memory module (see
RAID Controller").
Install the RAID hardware key for your specific system (see
RAID Controller").
Create a utility partition on the boot hard drive (see "Using the Dell
OpenManage Server Assistant CD" in your User's Guide).
A VRM must be installed for each installed microprocessor. Install a VRM
for the specified microprocessor or remove the VRM for the specified
microprocessor if that microprocessor is not installed (see
"Microprocessors"). To identify the microprocessors and VRMs, see
Figure 5-3.
Back up information on the hard drives before changing the type of
controller used with the drives.
Update the firmware. Download the latest firmware from the
Dell | Support website at support.dell.com.
