4.1 Beep Codes
Fatal errors, which halt the boot process, are communicated through two kinds
of audible beeps.
•
Eight short beeps: It indicates that a video error has occurred.
•
A single long beep repeatedly: It indicates that a DRAM error has occurred.
The most common type of error is a memory error.
Before contacting your vendor or TYAN® Technical Support, be sure that you
note as much as you can about the beep code length and order that you
experience. Also, be ready with information regarding add-in cards, drives and
O/S to speed the support process and come to a quicker solution.
