Beep Codes (BIOS version: GJ.07.xx)
If a terminal error occurs during POST, the system issues a beep code before
attempting to display the error. Beep codes are useful for identifying the
error when the system is unable to display the error message.
Beep Pattern
114
Corrective Action and/or Explanation
An error message may be displayed and the PC may "hang"
for 20 seconds and then beep. The POST is probably
checking for a mass storage device which it cannot find and
the PC is in Timeout Mode. After Timeout, run Setup to
check the configuration.
