The BIOS also can issue the following beep codes during POST:
• One long tone followed by three short tones if the video
configuration fails.
• One long tone followed by two short tones if an external ROM
module does not properly checksum to zero.
An external ROM module (LAN or Video board) can also issue audible

tones.
