IBM ValuePoint - 6381 completes POST with 2 beeps

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
PS/ValuePoint 6381 with Flash Code level L8ET22AUS (22A) will complete a successful POST with 2 beeps instead of the expected one beep.

Problem Isolation Aids:
View the Flash EEPROM level by accessing the configuration utility program. The fifth, sixth and seventh positions of the EEPROM level represent the code level, for example, L8ET22AUS is code level 22A.

Fix:
If the 6381 exhibits no other POST or operational failure symptoms. The two beeps should not be considered an error, and no service action is required. Updating the Flash EEPROM to the latest level will result in one beep at the completion of a successful POST.
