Suggestions as to how to deal with a no-boot situation with a 3-beep code sequence.

Description

Resolution

The three beeps during POST is a memory related error; see POST Error Beep Codes for Intel® Server Boards and Intel® Server Systems.  As a result, proceed as follows:

  1. Ensure your memory modules are properly seated.
  2. See if the manufacturer and part number of your memory modules is compatible with your board; for this, follow the below steps:
    1. Access our Intel Server Configurator.
    2. Select your Intel Server Board model under the Select Board/Compute Module column.
    3. Select Memory under Select Category.
    4. See if your memory is listed there.


If the situation persists, contact Support with the make and part number of the memory modules and the system event logs for further diagnosis.
