Error Beep(s) Symptom Charts

1.

RAM expansion DIMMs for the eMac must be PC133 compliant and use SDRAM devices. If the user 

installs a DIMM that uses EDO or SGRAM devices, the computer will beep several times when the user 

attempts to restart the computer.

2.

Refer to “Power-On Self Test” mentioned earlier in this chapter.

A long tone at startup can indicate that the power button is being held in, or is malfunctioning. This tone is 

normal when purposely holding the button in during startup. 

1.

Attach a known good power button to the unit and test. If the tone no longer sounds at startup, replace 

the power button.
