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.

To verify that a NetVista thin client hardware problem exists, ensure that you complete the instructions in “Verifying hardware problems” on page 31.

If the NetVista thin client is not functioning properly, and it is emitting audio beep sequences, consult Table 5 on page 35. Contact your technical support if these steps do not resolve the problem.

Notes:

1.These beep sequences are in a numeric format which indicates the sequence of the audio output.

2.Audio beep sequences do not occur after the monitor initializes.
