Beep Codes for x3330 processor and server board s3210shlc

idata — Thu, 21 May 2009 14:16:14 GMT

Can someone point me in the right direction or post the url for the beep codes for x3330 processor and server board s3210shlc?

I was getting two long beeps at boot when I had a E7400 processor. I have since replaced the processor with an X3330 and now I am getting two long beeps and two short beeps at boot. I've search for what this may mean but the best I could find was for two beeps saying I have a parity error...nothing about two long and two short beeps in sequence at boot.

but you're not going to like what you read.

Have you tried cross testing the memory?

I found out that the PNY memory I was using does not work with the S3210SHLC board and was the reason for the 1st 2 long beeps. I was told by Intel support that the 2 short beeps after the 2 long were a count of the numbr of USB devices I had attached. So I shutdown and unplugged one of the USB devices and sure enough only 1 short beep after the 2 long.

I have since replaced the PNY memory and now am receiving 1 long, 2 short (usb devices) and then 1 long 1-2-1. Now what does that mean. I read one board that said the refresh rate has a problem and another spot that said 1 long beep is normal. Should I be concerned?

has the server ever worked before or is it a new installation?

It is a new build. Intel said to change the memory again to one that is on there list and if that does not work they would replace the S3210SHLC board.
