When you turn on your system, it performs a power-on self-test (POST), which is a series of self-diagnostic checks. A successful POST ends with
a single beep that signifies the start of normal operation. If the system fails to emit the single beep or appears to stop responding during POST, a
series of LEDs located at the rear of the computer can help you understand which POST test failed or why the system stopped responding. These
LEDs indicate problems encountered during POST only, not during normal operation.
The LED patterns described in Table 4 can help you determine what to do to resolve the problem. If a problem resolution requires you to open the
computer chassis, refer to "
Working Inside Your Computer " for procedures you need to complete prior to performing the suggested resolution. If
the problem persists after you perform the suggested problem resolution(s), contact Dell Technical Support for further help.
Table 4 lists the codes for the back panel diagnostic LEDs, probable causes, and suggested corrective actions. The LED patterns are shown as
they appear on the back of your mini tower chassis. Use this circle to match the LED pattern your computer is displaying with one of the patterns
shown in Table 4.
