Is this your first real server?
What monitor? connected to what?
my guess this jack VGA? front top left JACK?
ATI Radeon 7000
M video controller; VGA connectors
to the remote access card option? what?
the server is headless by default.
are you attempting to do service only to this server.
My guess yes, due to beeps, only this action. right?
1 beep followed by 3 beeps
this sever has 3 beep fields
X,Y and Z not just 2. sorry.
no, the bios does not need a driver.
the Server BIOS has that in FIRMWARE,(locked in)
and if you did NOT flash your BIOS then its ok
'if you did, then you used the wrong BIOS binary files.
my guess is you are reading the wrong book on beeps
did you first get the correct book on your exact PC first?
know this.
all PCs and severs can beep different codes.
there is no world standard on them.
the are on specific series of servers, and years.
unique.
my guess you are reading PC or work station beeps, wrong books.
here are the books, check those out yet.
look for the pages on beeps?

1-1-3 beeps is BIOS battery dead, is it below 2.9vdc?
the battery does not last 14 years, 18-04= 14 years old. sorry.
1-3-1 is main mem failure, refresh.
.
i see this. at dell, it is for your server ONLY.
just your model or series only.

It might not be a driver. It might be the monitor. Try another monitor.

I deal with this sort of thing alot with servers. Easiest thing to try first is reseat the memory.

Hi,
Kindly follow the troubleshooting steps on the following steps

Chances are that you have a loose memory modules
Thanks

SOURCE: dell 1800 power edge is giving long beep continuously.
Power supply, system board, or keyboard problem
SOURCE: code (Vclr) on screen and one beep then two beeps twice.
Your memory modules are faulty (or dirty). Try them one by one and clean the both the modules and slots with alcohol (or Contact Cleaner).
SOURCE: dell power edge 2850 make 4 seconds beeps alarm
I don't understand the beep code you describe, but the 2850 has many beep codes to help understand what is going on.
First ... Identify the beep. Does the beep start as soon as you power it on, or after several seconds? What is the pattern of the beep - is it a repeating set of beeps - 3 sets of beeps between 1 and 4 beeps ... like 1 beep-3 beeps-2 beeps, or 3 beeps, 3 beeps, 1 beep? Or is it a steady repeating beep - about once per second?
Second ... is the LCD panel on the server blue or orange? If orange, what is the error code(s) it is scrolling?
If it is a steady, once-per-second beep, it is probably your RAID controller. Does the system boot to Windows/OS ok? If so, use (or install) OpenManage Server Administrator (Managed Node from Dell's Support Site) to check the Hardware Logs and check the RAID array (under Storage/Virtual Disks). If it is not booting to the OS, then go into CTRL-M to see what the status of your array is.
make sure
that your RAM is securely seated
One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or
to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive
Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including
electrical extensions,IDE,SATA
the leads from your ((motherboard
to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not
faulty or just replace them they could be faulty
a computer needs its connections to continue its cycle and
to have and end to function
obvisously the
beeps are windows searching for some hardware it could be RAM cd/dvd hard drive
or motherboard all of these must have secure connections for the computer to
work
make
sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have
secure make sure the connections and are not faulty even the electrical
extensions or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its
connections to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end
up with a computer error
hope
this helps

the monitor does not need a driver in normal condition. So try to update the graphic driver to see if the problem can solved or not.
If you cannot see nothing on the monitor, try to open the computer case and press the power button to see if the computer can runs but only the monitor shows as no signal. If it is like this, try to plug out the memory and then reinstall it, or plug it to another slot.
