Bios Beep Codes for the xw8000 Workstation

When your system starts up, the system firmware performs pre-boot diagnostics to test your hardware configuration for any problems. If a problem is detected during pre-boot, the system e-buzzer will emit audible beeps and an encoded error message. The e-buzzer emits a different number of beeps for each type of error. The sequence may start with a modem-like sound lasting about three seconds, followed by a number of clear beeps, or the e-buzzer may simple emit clear beeps. The e-buzzer detects the following errors:
Beeps Component 0 N/A Error No problem or power button stuck Solution Dislodge the power button and allow the system to boot properly
0 N/A 1 Processor
No LED system OFF or possible power supply or system board failure (flashing red) Replace the computer Processor absent, not connected or socket not closed Replace the computer Power supply is in protected mode or system is hung in an undetermined on/off state Memory error Graphics card problem PCI card initialization problem Corrupted BIOS Possible system board

POST Codes for the xw8000 Workstation (1/3)

POST is a series of diagnostic tests that runs automatically when the system is turned on. An audible and/or visual message occurs if the POST encounters a problem. POST checks the following items to ensure that the workstation system is functioning properly:
-Keyboard -Memory modules -Diskette drives -All SATA, IDE, and SCSI mass storage devices -Processors -Controllers
Error 0010: The PC configuration has been lost, cleared, corrupted or has not been initialized. When the PC remains unplugged for a long period of time, the battery that provides the current to keep the CMOS memory powered may become discharged. 1. Check that the battery is properly inserted. 2. If necessary, replace the battery as described in your User's Guide. 3. Run the Setup program to re-configure your PC. Error 0011: When the PC remains unplugged for a long period of time, the battery that provides the current to keep the PC date and time may become discharged. 1.

Logical to Physical Hard Drive Mapping for the xw8000

Hard drives are referenced with ID numbers (ex: ID00) in the BIOS and as SDX (ex: /dev/sda) in the Linux OS, in order to identify the disk physically, we have provided a logical to physical mapping below:
BIOS Hard Drive label: ID01 ID00
Linux OS Hard Drive label: /dev/sdb /dev/sda
TIP: If a third drive exists, continue the naming convention upwards, therefore the TOP drive's BIOS label would be ID02 and the OS label /dev/sdc/.

Screen Message 1998Master Boot Record has been changed Probable Cause The current MBR does not match the previously saved copy of the MBR. Step Recommended Action 1 Use extreme caution. The MBR might have been updated due to normal disk maintenance activities (disk manager, fdisk, or format). Replacing the previously saved MBR in such situations can cause data loss. If certain that the MBR change is unintentional and undesired (for example, due to a virus), run Computer Setup and restore the previously saved MBR copy. Otherwise, run Computer Setup and either disable MBR security or save the MBR of the current bootable disk.

A Word of Caution when using the HP Insight Diagnostic CD

Please use the HP Insight Diagnostic CD with caution. During a small-scale test it was found that the diagnostic passed 95% of failed components, and properly failed only 5% of these components. Therefore be aware that a failed component will likely pass the diagnostic tests. However, if the diagnostic does in fact fail a component, proceed with confidence that the component has been correctly diagnosed and should be replaced. An additional use for the diagnostic, is to provide a detailed snapshot of the hardware components detected within the system as seen below:
