Table 4-13 Diagnostic Lights and Audible Codes Activity Beeps Possible Cause Recommended Action NOTE: For the following LED activity and beeps, the beeps will be heard through the on-board speaker and not the chassis speaker. Blinks and beeps will be repeated for 5 cycles, after that, only the blinks will continue to repeat. Red Power LED blinks four 4 times once every second, followed by a two-second pause.(only on xw4200 and xw9300) Red Power LED blinks five 5 times, once every second, followed by a two-second pause. Red Power LED blinks six 6 times, once every second, followed by a two-second pause. Red Power LED blinks seven 7 times, once every second, followed by a two- second pause. Power failure (power supply is overloaded) 1. Open the hood and ensure the 4wire (xw4200) or the 8-pin/wire (xw6200, xw8200, and xw9300) power supply cable is seated into the connector on the system board. 2. Check if a device is causing the problem by removing ALL attached devices (such as hard, diskette, or optical drives, and expansion cards.) Power on the system. If the system enters the POST, then power off and replace one device at a time and repeat this procedure, until failure occurs. Replace the device that is causing the failure. Continue adding devices one at a time to ensure all devices are functioning properly. 3. Replace the power supply. 4. Replace the system board. Pre-video memory error 1. Reseat DIMMs. Power on the system. 2. Replace DIMMs one at a time to isolate faulty module. 3. Replace third-party memory with HP memory. 4. Replace the system board. Pre-video graphics error. For systems with a graphics card: 1. Reseat the graphics card. Power on the system. 2. Replace the graphics card. 3. Replace the system board.

NOTE:
For the following LED activity and beeps, the beeps will be heard through the on–board speaker and not the
chassis speaker. Blinks and beeps will be repeated for 5 cycles, after that, only the blinks will continue to repeat.
Red Power LED blinks four
times once every second,
followed by a two-second
pause.(only on xw4200 and
xw9300)

Power failure (power supply is
overloaded)
1.
Open the hood and ensure the 4-
wire (xw4200) or the 8-pin/wire
(xw6200, xw8200, and
xw9300) power supply cable is
seated into the connector on the
system board.
2.
Check if a device is causing the
problem by removing ALL
attached devices (such as hard,
diskette, or optical drives, and
expansion cards.) Power on the
system. If the system enters the
POST, then power off and replace
one device at a time and repeat
this procedure, until failure
occurs. Replace the device that is
causing the failure. Continue
adding devices one at a time to
ensure all devices are functioning
properly.
3.
Replace the power supply.
4.
Replace the system board.
Red Power LED blinks five
times, once every second,
followed by a two-second
pause.
5
Pre-video memory error
1.
Reseat DIMMs. Power on the
system.
2.
Replace DIMMs one at a time to
isolate faulty module.
3.
Replace third-party memory with
HP memory.
4.
Replace the system board.
Red Power LED blinks six
times, once every second,
followed by a two-second
pause.
6
Pre-video graphics error.
For systems with a graphics card:
1.
Reseat the graphics card. Power
on the system.
2.
Replace the graphics card.
3.
Replace the system board.
Red Power LED blinks seven
times, once every second,
followed by a two- second
pause.
7
System board failure (ROM
detected failure prior to video).
Replace the system board.
