Power-On Sequence At power-on, the flash boot block code initializes the hardware to a known state, then performs basic power-on diagnostic tests to determine the integrity of the hardware. Initialization performs the following functions: 1. Initializes CPU and memory controller. 2. Initializes and configures all PCI devices. 3. Initializes USB devices to a known state. 4. The unit boots the operating system. Beep Codes uBoot provides some feedback during startup according to the following table. If the system cannot start up due to a catastrophic error (such as no RAM), no beep sounds; return the unit for service. If the system can start up but encounters some other catastrophic error (such as the SATA flash is unreadable), 3 beeps are played; return the unit for service. In normal operation, the system 1 beep should sound. If the system encounters a recoverable error such as the SATA flash is corrupted, 2 beeps sound to indicate the user should reflash the unit.

Power-On Sequence
At power-on, the flash boot block code initializes the hardware to a known state, then performs basic
power-on diagnostic tests to determine the integrity of the hardware. Initialization performs the
following functions:
1.
Initializes CPU and memory controller.
2.
Initializes and configures all PCI devices.
3.
Initializes USB devices to a known state.
4.
The unit boots the operating system.
Beep Codes
uBoot provides some feedback during startup according to the following table. If the system cannot
start up due to a catastrophic error (such as no RAM), no beep sounds; return the unit for service. If
the system can start up but encounters some other catastrophic error (such as the SATA flash is
unreadable), 3 beeps are played; return the unit for service. In normal operation, the system 1 beep
should sound. If the system encounters a recoverable error such as the SATA flash is corrupted, 2
beeps sound to indicate the user should reflash the unit.
