Running the diagnostic tests can isolate the server component that failed,
but you must have your system serviced. If the beep code repeats, 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 beep code repeats,
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 I/O
function card 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 I/O function card and an optional video adapter
have failed the test. This beep combination might also indicate that the I/O
function card, processor daughterboard, or I/O board contains a failing
component.
One long and three short beeps
This beep combination indicates that the 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 you install a video
adapter 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 I/O function card.
