Beep Codes

If an error occurs during the POST, the server beeps, indicating the type of error.
Each number indicates the number of short beeps, and a hyphen indicates a pause. For example, the
beep interval 1-2-2-3 indicates 1 beep, pause, 2 beeps, pause, 2 beeps, pause, and 3 beeps notifying
that the checksum error occurred on ROM.
