Repeating short beepsThis beep combination indicates that your server system board might containa failing component, your keyboard might be defective, or a key on thekeyboard 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 thecorrect 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 fiveseconds, and then, turn on the server. If the error message goesaway, replace the device.One long and one short beepThis beep combination indicates that POST encountered an error on a videoadapter. Have the system serviced if the integrated video adapter on thesystem board is being used. If an optional video adapter is being used,replace the failing video adapter.One long and two short beepsThis beep combination indicates that a video I/O adapter ROM is notreadable, or the video subsystem is defective. If you hear this beepcombination twice, both the server system board and an optional videoadapter have failed the test. This beep combination might also indicate thatyour server system board contains a failing component.One long and three short beepsThis beep combination indicates that the system-board video subsystem hasnot detected a monitor connection to the server. Ensure that the monitor isconnected to the server. If the problem persists, replace the monitor.Two long and two short beepsThis beep combination indicates that POST does not support the optionalvideo adapter. This beep combination occurs when a video adapter isinstalled that is incompatible with your server. Replace the optional videoadapter with one that is supported by the server or use the integrated videocontroller on the system board.Chapter 6. Solving problems 123
