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.
Table 8. Recovery Mode Beep Codes
Beeps Description
1 short Medium tone BIOS Flash Update Started
2 short Medium tone BIOS Flash Update Complete
Repeating Low tone BIOS Recovery Error Occurred, or no recovery media found
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.
Table 9. BMC Beep Codes
Code Reason for Beep Course of action
1-5-1-1 FRB3 failure (processor failure) See “FRB” in Debug Methodology and failure
Isolation section.
1-5-2-1 Processor: Empty Slot No processor found in socket 1, See “Processor” in
Debug Methodology and failure Isolation section.
1-5-2-2 Processor: No Processors No processor found in socket 1, See “Processor” in
Debug Methodology and failure Isolation section.
1-5-2-3 Processor: Configuration Error (e.g., VID mismatch) General Processor Issue, See “Processor” in
Debug Methodology and failure Isolation section.
1-5-4-2 Power fault: DC power unexpectedly lost (power
control failures)
DC Voltage error, (1) check TPS power supply (s)
for amber lights – replace if found (2) Check /
replace power cage.
1-5-4-3 Chipset control failure
1-5-4-4 Power control fault 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.
