System Error Beep Codes
Beep codes help you diagnose and troubleshoot system problems. Beep codes
are audible error codes emitted by the system for specific problems. Table 9-2
describes error beep codes. For example, if the SROM (serial read-only
memory) code could not find any usable 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).
