__Since Beep codes differ from BIOS vendor to BIOS vendor, you'll have
to look them up on the appropriate BIOS vendor's web site. Usually if
you get a beep code from the BIOS, you won't boot at all; thus your
beeps might be from another source, e.g. firmware on a net or raid card.
Of course, then, you go to that vendor's web site.
