Beep Codes

If an error occurs during the POST, the server beeps, indicating the type of error.

Each number indicates the number of short beeps, and a hyphen indicates a pause. For example, the beep interval 1-5-2-2 indicates 1 beep, pause, 2 beeps, pause, 2 beeps, pause, and 3 beeps notifying that no processor is detected on the system board.

IMPORTANT: The "Option ROM initialization error" may occur due to insufficient ROM expansion area when several PCI boards with BIOS were installed. In that case, disable the BIOS to secure the expansion ROM area by using the BIOS configuration menu of optional board, or start SETUP and select [Advanced] → [Option ROM] to disable the slot that does not require the BIOS expansion.
