Server Beeps at Power On or When Booting

The server indicates problems with "beep codes" during Power-On Self Test (POST)
in the event there is no displayed video. A complete list of beep codes is given in
"POST Error Beep Codes" on page 3-19.
The following beep codes identify system events during POST in case video fails to
display.

Some Hard Drives Do Not Show Up During POST

The server board includes an embedded Adaptec AIC-7902 controller, which
provides dual Ultra320 Low Voltage Differential SCSI (LVDS) channels.
The SCSI bus is terminated on the server board with active terminators that cannot
be disabled. The onboard device must be at one end of the bus. The device at the
other end of the cable must also be terminated. LVDS devices generally do not have
Bootup Beep Codes
Reason
One short beep before boot (normal, not an error)
Search for option ROMs. One long beep and two short beeps on checksum
failure.
BIOS ROM checksum
Test DRAM refresh
Test 8742 keyboard controller
Auto size DRAM. System BIOS stops execution here if the BIOS does not
detect any usable memory DIMMs.
Base RAM failure. BIOS stops execution here if entire memory is bad.
Check ROM copyright notice.
Test for unexpected interrupts.
FRB failure (processor failure)
No processors installed
Processor configuration error (for example, mismatched VIDs).
Front-side bus select configuration error (for example, mismatched BSELs)
Power fault
Chipset control failure
Power control failure
