Most likely, these beeps are “beep codes.” They identify system events in case video fails to display. The following
list is an excerpt of available beep codes. Contact your customer service representative for a complete list of beep
codes.
Table 1. Standard BIOS Port-80 Codes
CP Beeps Reason
xx 1-1-1-1
There are no processors present in the system, or the processors are so
incompatible that the system BIOS cannot run (like mismatched cache
voltages).
16 1-2-2-3
BIOS ROM checksum.
20 1-3-1-1
Test DRAM refresh.
22 1-3-1-3
Test 8742 Keyboard Controller.
28 1-3-3-1
Autosize DRAM, system BIOS stops execution here if the BIOS does not detect
any usable memory DIMMs.
2C 1-3-4-1
Base RAM failure, BIOS stops execution here if entire memory is bad.
46 2-1-2-3
Check ROM copyright notice.
58 2-2-3-1

Table 2. Recovery BIOS Port-80 Codes
CP Beeps Reason
xx 1-1-1-1

1-5-2-2
No processors installed or processor SEEPROM inaccessible.
1-5-3-1
P2XP L2 cache voltage ID mismatch, modules 1&2
1-5-3-2
P2XP L2 cache voltage ID mismatch, modules 3&4
1-5-1-1
FRB failure
1-5-4-2
Power fault: DC power unexpectedly lost

3) My HDD lights went on, I heard the drives spin up, and my floppy drive light turned
on, but I’m not seeing video
Check the following:
