Oh my gawd!  I've been going at this from a memory issue :(

'k, stupid question before I write off the memory issue perspective (since I have Kingston ready to take the whole server and do tests on it) ... I'm running the SE7520JR2ATAD2 motherboard, with an ICP-Vortex RAID controller .. the 'beeps' happen just after the 'BIOS Lan Console' pops on the screen, and *long* before the ICP-Vortex RAID controller BIOS does ... which is why I never thought RAID controller ...

Is there an onboard RAID controller or something that these Beeps pertain to?

That is probably the RAID controller...

That particular beep code means, "Controller startup was successful."

I hate to ask, but am running out of places and would *really* like to get this server online sometime soon ...

I have a new Intel SE7520JR2 DDR2 based server, FreeBSD 4-STABLE is installed on it and running great ... *but* ... whenever I boot up, I get beeps ... specifically, "beep-pause-beepbeepbeep" ... the first beep isn't a long one though, and I can't find anywhere that talks about all short beeps like that ...

Does anyone have experience with Beep Codes that might be able to give some clue?

I've upgraded the BIOS to the latest 8.10, and, as I say above, the server appears to run fine, but putting something into production that has a "questionable boot" tends to make me a bit nervous ...

Thanks ...
