Audio beep sequences

The NetVista thin client hardware utilizes both audio and visual alerts when
reporting hardware problems. In the event of a hardware problem, the NetVista
thin client emits audio beeps before your monitor initializes. After your monitor
initializes, error codes and text messages appear on the screen (see "Error codes
and text messages" on page 36).
Audio beep sequences can include short beeps, long beeps, and brief silent periods.
Table 5 on page 35 defines the possible audio beep sequences that can occur when
a hardware problem exists.
