I then rebooted and then it came back with the beeping I described (one-second interval, the beeps themselves being about a half-second long). After that, I carted a monitor over to it and that was when I was unable to get any video to the monitor. However, the monitor and keyboard both work since I was able to plug them into the server just above it and have them work. Any idea on how to trouble shoot the CMOS battery? I'd hate to ship a whole server or buy a whole new one if that is the only problem. Incidentally, I forgot to mention that when I tried to power on the machine with the case open, I noticed near the left-rear of the motherboard (noted while standing in front of the server) two seven segment displays that quickly display "44" when the power first comes one and then switch to "C1". I am not sure if this some sort of diagnostic or something. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
