Table 10. POST Error Beep Codes

Reason for Beeps and Action to Take
Memory error. Reseat the memory or replace the DIMMs with known good
modules.
Fatal error indicating a possible serious system problem. Remove all add-
in cards and re-start the system. If the error still occurs, contact your
system manufacturer. If the beep codes are not generated after the add-in
cards are removed, insert the cards one at a time, booting the system
between each card addition, until the beeps again occur to reveal the
malfunctioning card.
Replace or reseat the system video add-in card. If on-board video is being
used, the server board may be faulty.
