Diagnosing and Solving Problems
One beep indicates that the system has completed its POST test. If intermittent beeping
occurs, power off the system and try again. If the beeping persists, see Table 4-4. The table
summarizes problems that may develop during system operation and lists (in sequential
order) suggested corrective actions.

power supply and system board.
3. Systematically eliminate possible
shorted PCBs by removing cables and
expansion boards.
4. Check the +5 and +12 power supply
voltages (see Appendix A, Connector Pin
Assignments). Measure voltages with the
system board installed.
5. Replace power supply.
6. Replace system board.
