Troubleshooting 5-9
Error Beep Codes
Table 5-4 shows error beep codes you may encounter at system startup. For example, if
the SROM (serial read only memory) code could not find any good memory, you would
hear a 1-3-3 beep code (one beep, a pause, a burst of three beeps, a pause, and another
burst of three beeps). Contact field service.
