POST beep codes POST message 5962 8601 8603 I9990301 Other Numbers Description A removable media configuration error occurred. Action: 1. Verify that the Configuration/Setup Utility program correctly reflects the number of removable-media drives that you have installed. If the drive information is not correct, change it. (For instructions on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program, see "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 39.) 2. If you added or removed a removable-media drive, you must save the new configuration in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 39 for additional information and instructions on saving the configuration. If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the system serviced. A pointing device or system board error occurred. Action: Have the system serviced. A hard disk drive failure occurred. Action: Have the system serviced. The server POST found an error. Action: Follow the instructions on the screen. Power-on self-test (POST) beep codes In some models, one beep and the appearance of text on the monitor indicate successful completion of POST. More than one beep indicates that POST detected an error. Beep codes are sounded in a series of two or three sets of beeps. The duration of each beep is constant, but the length of the pause between the beeps varies. For example, a 1-2-4 beep code sounds like one beep, a pause, two consecutive beeps, another pause, and four more consecutive beeps. It is possible to misinterpret beep codes if you do not understand exactly how they work. Keeping in mind that POST beep codes vary in the length of the pause, and not the duration of the beep tones, will help you to distinguish the beeps. 192 Netfinity 3000 User's Handbook
