• Verify your SAS or SATA drives are connected to the correct ports on the server board and the chassis backplane. See your chassis documentation for details about backplane connections. • If using ATA drives, verify that the master/slave settings are set correctly. See your drive documentation for details on setting the master/slave settings. • If using a RAID configuration with an add-in RAID adapter, make sure the RAID adapter is installed correctly.

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 service representative. 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. Replace or reseat the system video add-in card. If on-board video is being used, the server board may be faulty. 54 Intel® Server Board S5000PSL
