Number of Beeps Reason for Beeps and Action to Take
1, 2, or 3 Memory error. Reseat the memory or replace the DIMMs with known good modules.
4 - 7 or 9 - 11 Fatal error indicating a possible serious system problem. Remove all add-in cards and
re-start the system. If the error still occurs, contact your system manufacturer. If the
beep codes are not generated after the add-in cards are removed, insert the cards one
at a time, booting the system between each card addition, until the beeps again occur
to reveal the malfunctioning card.

server board may be faulty.
