E.g. 1-1-2 would mean 1 beep, a pause, 1 beep, a pause, phoenix award bios beep codes and 2 beeps. With a Dell computer, a 1-2 beep code can also indicate that a bootable add-in card is installed but no boot phoenix bios beep codes 1-3-4-3 device is attached. For example, in you insert a Promise Ultra-66 card but do not connect a hard drive to it, you will get the beep code. I verified this with a SIIG (crap -- avoid like the plague) Ultra-66

Tim Fisher Updated September 04, 2016 PhoenixBIOS is a kind of BIOS manufactured by Phoenix Technologies. A majority of modern motherboard manufacturers have integrated Phoenix Technologies' PhoenixBIOS into their systems.Several custom http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/phoenixbeep.htm implementations of the PhoenixBIOS system exist in many popular motherboards. The beep codes from a Phoenix-based BIOS may be exactly the same as the true Phoenix beep codes below or they may vary. You can always check your motherboard manual to be sure.Note: PhoenixBIOS beep codes are short, sound in quick succession, and usually sound immediately after powering on the PC. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/phoenix-beep-codes.htm 1 Beep Laura Harker/EyeEm/Getty Images A single beep from a Phoenix based BIOS is actually an "all systems clear" notification. Technically, it's an indication that the Power On Self Test is complete. No troubleshooting necessary! 1 Continuous Beep One continuous beep isn't an officially listed Phoenix beep code but I know of several instances of this occurring. In at least one case, the solution was to reseat the CPU. 1 Short Beep, 1 Long Beep One short beep followed by one long beep also isn't an officially listed Phoenix beep code but two readers have let me know about this one. In both cases, the problem was bad RAM which replacing obviously solved. 1 Long Beep, 2 Short Beeps One long beep followed by two short beeps indicates that there has been a checksum error. This means that there is some kind of motherboard issue. Replacing the motherboard should fix this problem. 1-1-1-1 Beep Code Pattern Technically, a 1-1-1-1 beep code pattern doesn't exist but I've seen it and many readers have too. Most often, it's a problem with the
to the PC expansion bus and have a dual LED display which decodes and displays the value at port 80h. With a POST board installed, you can monitor the progress http://www.vtel.com/support/catchall/phoenix1.htm of the self-test as it progresses. Not all tests listed in the table below will be executed on all systems, nor will they always be executed in order. If a fatal error occurs, the PhoenixBIOS 4.0 will attempt to issue a beep code representing the error, and it will also attempt to display the error code on a monochrome or CGA display. In the event of a fatal beep codes system error during initialization, the code representing the portion of the POST causing the failure will be the last value sent to port 80h. As any experienced technician knows, a failure at any given location does not necessarily mean that the particular part or section under test has actually failed.
