BIOS POST Beep Codes

The table below lists the POST error beep codes. Prior to system video initialization, the BIOS uses these beep codes to inform users of error conditions. Please note that not all error conditions are supported by BIOS beep codes.

Table 6. POST Error Beep Codes

Number of Beeps

Reason for Beeps and Action to Take

 

 

1, 2, or 3

Memory error. Reseat the memory or replace the DIMMs with known good modules.

 

 

4 - 7 or 9 - 11

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.

 

 

8

Replace or reseat the system video add-in card. If on-board video is bing used, the

 

server board may be faulty.
