Repeating short beeps
This beep combination indicates that your server system board might contain
a failing component, your keyboard might be defective, or a key on the
keyboard might be stuck.
Ensure that:
1. Nothing is resting on the keyboard and pressing a key.
2. No key is stuck.
3. The keyboard cable is connected correctly to the keyboard and to the
correct connector on the server.
Running the diagnostic tests can isolate the server component that failed,
but you must have your system serviced. If the error message remains,
have the keyboard, cable, and system serviced.
Note: If you have just connected a new mouse or other pointing device,
turn off the server and disconnect that device. Wait at least five
seconds, and then, turn on the server. If the error message goes
away, replace the device.
One long and one short beep
This beep combination indicates that POST encountered an error on a video
adapter. Have the system serviced if the integrated video adapter on the
system board is being used. If an optional video adapter is being used,
replace the failing video adapter.
One long and two short beeps
This beep combination indicates that a video I/O adapter ROM is not
readable, or the video subsystem is defective. If you hear this beep
combination twice, both the server system board and an optional video
adapter have failed the test. This beep combination might also indicate that
your server system board contains a failing component.
One long and three short beeps
This beep combination indicates that the system-board video subsystem has
not detected a monitor connection to the server. Ensure that the monitor is
connected to the server. If the problem persists, replace the monitor.
Two long and two short beeps
This beep combination indicates that POST does not support the optional
video adapter. This beep combination occurs when a video adapter is
installed that is incompatible with your server. Replace the optional video
adapter with one that is supported by the server or use the integrated video
controller on the system board.
