2) Upon booting, my server starts beeping

Most likely, these beeps are “beep codes.” They identify system events in case video fails to display. The following list is an excerpt of available beep codes. Contact your customer service representative for a complete list of beep codes.

Table 1. Standard BIOS Port-80 Codes

CP

Beeps

Reason

 

 

 

 

 

 

xx

1-1-1-1

There are no processors present in the system, or the processors are so

 

 

incompatible that the system BIOS cannot run (like mismatched cache

 

 

voltages).

 

 

 

16

1-2-2-3

BIOS ROM checksum.

 

 

 

20

1-3-1-1

Test DRAM refresh.

 

 

 

22

1-3-1-3

Test 8742 Keyboard Controller.

 

 

 

28

1-3-3-1

Autosize DRAM, system BIOS stops execution here if the BIOS does not detect

 

 

any usable memory DIMMs.

 

 

 

2C

1-3-4-1

Base RAM failure, BIOS stops execution here if entire memory is bad.

 

 

 

46

2-1-2-3

Check ROM copyright notice.

 

 

 

58

2-2-3-1

Test for unexpected interrupts.

 

 

 

98

1-2

Search for option ROMs. One long, two short beeps on checksum failure.

 

 

 

B4

1

One short beep before boot.

1-1-1-1

There are no processors present in the system, or the processors are so incompatible that the system BIOS cannot run (like mismatched cache voltages).

Table 3. BMC Beep Codes

Beeps

Reason

 

 

1-5-2-1

Empty processor slot or processor in memory board slot

 

 

1-5-2-2

No processors installed or processor SEEPROM inaccessible.

 

 

1-5-3-1

P2XP L2 cache voltage ID mismatch, modules 1&2

 

 

1-5-3-2

P2XP L2 cache voltage ID mismatch, modules 3&4

 

 

1-5-1-1

FRB failure

 

 

1-5-4-2

Power fault: DC power unexpectedly lost

 

 

1-5-4-3

Chipset power control failure (no response)

 

 

1-5-4-4

Power control fault

 

 

3)My HDD lights went on, I heard the drives spin up, and my floppy drive light turned on, but I’m not seeing video

Check the following:

Remove all add-in cards and retry booting with just the on-board components. If successful, try adding the add-in boards one at a time with a reboot in between to try to pinpoint a suspect card.
