When an error that cannot be reported on the monitor occurs during a boot routine, the computer may emit a series of beeps that identifies the problem. The beep code is a pattern of sounds; for example, one beep followed by a second beep and then a burst of three beeps (code 1-1-3) means that the computer was unable to read the data in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). This information is valuable to the Dell technical support representative if you need to call for technical assistance. When a beep code is emitted, write it down on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist found in Chapter 11, "Getting Help," and then look it up in Table 3-2. If you are unable to resolve the problem by looking up the meaning of the beep code, use the Dell Diagnostics to identify a more serious cause (see Chapter 5, "Running the Dell Diagnostics"). If you are still unable to resolve the problem, see Chapter 11, "Getting Help," for instructions on obtaining technical assistance. 1-1-3 1-1-4 1-2-1 1-2-2 NVRAM write/read failure Replace the system board.
