When an error that cannot be reported on the monitor occurs during a boot routine,
the computer may emit a series of beeps that identify 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 12, ²Getting Help,³ 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, ²Running the Dell Diag-
nostics³). If you are still unable to resolve the problem, see Chapter 12, ²Getting
Help,³ for instructions on obtaining technical assistance.
