Beeps Error Message POST Progress Code Description
4 BIOS Recovery
failure
NA BIOS recovery has failed. This typically happens so quickly
after recovery is initiated that it sounds like a 2-4 beep
code.
The Integrated BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep codes
are sounded each time the problem is discovered, such as on each power-up attempt, but are
not sounded continuously. Codes that are common across all Intel
®
server boards and systems
that use same generation chipset are listed in the following table. Each digit in the code is
represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal to the digit.
Table 68. Integrated BMC Beep Codes
Code Reason for Beep Associated Sensors
1-5-2-1 No CPUs installed or first CPU socket is
empty.
CPU1 socket is empty, or sockets are populated
incorrectly.
CPU1 must be populated before CPU2.
1-5-2-4 MSID Mismatch MSID mismatch occurs if a processor is installed
into a system board that has incompatible power
capabilities.
1-5-4-2 Power fault DC power unexpectedly lost (power good dropout)
– Power unit sensors report power unit failure
offset.
1-5-4-4 Power control fault (power good assertion
timeout).
Power good assertion timeout – Power unit
sensors report soft power control failure offset.
1-5-1-2 VR Watchdog Timer sensor assertion VR controller DC power on sequence was not
completed in time.
1-5-1-4 Power Supply Status The system does not power on or unexpectedly
powers off and a Power Supply Unit (PSU) is
present that is an incompatible model with one or
more other PSUs in the system.
