Beep Codes

10.1 Recovery Beep Codes

These audible codes describe the progress of a BIOS recovery attempt from a recovery CD

refer to chapter 11 Clearing CMOS and BIOS recovery for detail and steps to perform this

process.

Beeps

1 short

2 short

Repeating

10.2 BMC Beep Code Generation

The BMC generates beep codes upon detection of the failure conditions, each digit in the code

is represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal to the digit.

Code

1-5-1-1

FRB3 failure (processor failure)

1-5-2-1

Processor: Empty Slot

1-5-2-2

Processor: No Processors

1-5-2-3

Processor: Configuration Error (e.g., VID mismatch)

1-5-4-2

Power fault: DC power unexpectedly lost (power

control failures)

1-5-4-3

Chipset control failure

1-5-4-4

Power control fault

DC Voltage error, (1) check TPS power supply (s)

for amber lights – replace if found (2) Check /

replace power cage.

DC Voltage error, or dead short (MOST Common

cause) i.e. DC to GND (1) check TPS power supply

(s) for amber lights – replace if found (2) Check

Flex Cable for damage (nick in housing) or poor

connection – reseat cable or replace, check all

board to board connections i.e. VHDM connectors

(Riser to main board) carefully look for Bent or

flattened pins at end of connector near fans (3)

Check / replace power cage.
