Hitachi VisionBase 8880R
System Beeps
The system will beep before initializing video and does not always indicate an error. However, the system will
notify you of specific errors using beep patterns. A beep pattern is a meaningful series of beeps and pauses, such as
a 1-3-1-1 pattern, when the system beeps once, briefly pauses, beeps 3 times and briefly pauses, beeps once and
briefly pauses, and beeps one last time to indicate a DRAM refresh failure.
The following table displays the beep patterns that you may encounter and the error that is being reported.
