Beep Codes and System Messages

Your application programs, the operating system, the ISA Configuration Utility, and the computer itself are capable of providing you with certain system error and status information. This information may take the form of a beep code that sounds through the computer’s speaker or a status or error message that appears on the monitor screen.

This appendix provides the information necessary for interpreting the beep codes and system messages gener- ated by the system basic input/output system (BIOS) and the ISA Configuration Utility. For other error messages, see the documentation for your application program or operating system.

NOTE: The error messages and beep codes found in the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide apply only to Dell OptiPlex® systems; they do not correspond to the beep codes and error messages associated with your Dell Dimension computer system. Use this appendix and not the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide to interpret error messages and beep codes.

POST Beep Codes

If the monitor cannot display errors or problems, the computer may emit a series of beeps that identifies the problem. The beep code is a pattern of sounds that identi- fies a specific condition. For example, a burst of three beeps (beep code 3) means that a memory error occurred in the first 64 kilobytes (KB) of random-access memory (RAM). As another example, one beep followed by a burst of three beeps (beep code 1-3) indicates that no monitor is connected to the computer. Except for beep code 8, the conditions signaled by the beep codes prevent the system from completing the boot routine.

NOTE: It is normal for the computer to emit a single beep during the boot routine. This beep is not considered a beep code unless the computer is unable to complete the boot routine.

When the system emits a beep code, write it down and then find it in Table A-1. Table A-1 either provides a cor- rective action or helps you obtain technical assistance.
