<div>There were no beeps. If there were beeps then it would have given me some clue on Memory or VGA but there was none. I tried recconnecting the IDE HDD a number of times but that didn't help. Besides that the server is running on an e-Box3 -D82.Version 1.3 RoHS. Finally there are no lights indecating HDD activity, its only the power light.(Mini PC)</div>
