Appendix D
D. BMC Error Codes
The BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep codes are sounded
each time the problem is discovered (for example, on each power-up attempt) but are not sounded
continuously. Common supported codes are listed in Table D-1.
In Table D-1, each digit in the code is represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal to
the digit.
